I could listen to your dad tell his stories all day long ! The experiences and knowledge he has from a life of farming is just fascinating. Thanks for sharing
I really enjoy your Dad and brother talking about the ins and outs of their operations. Found your channel by accident but im hooked keep up the producing your awesome videos. Gotta love them OLIVERS
We've got one more coming up from the same day. ...but different activity...with my brother Tom. He was spraying herbicide while Randall and Dad were applying Ammonia.
Your paw sounds like a very nice man. I could learn so much from him. I used to talk to the old timers when I was a boy. I once talked to a 105 year old lady who came to Montana from Nebraska morning in the 1880s. She said the Indians were still wearing feathers when she came to Montana!
Man what a farmer has to go through to produce food for us. God bless the farmers!!! Randall is very smart and knows what he's doing. Thanks Tim for carrying us along. God Bless!
I really enjoyed watching your videos. My wife and I are just starting the venture of starting our own 80 acre farm. Tiny compared to what you are doing here. Thank you for making this video and thanks to all the farmers and their hands for keeping America Alive.
Knowledge from DAD, invaluable as a voice of experience. Great vid pointing the benefits of N and dangers handling these products. Thanks Tim and family.
Always knew that farming had to be more than just driving the tractor through the fields, and I also knew there was work involved, but with these videos it shows just what goes into what is planted on a large farm.... Thank you and your family for showing us what is happening to make food grow...
Thanks for watching and commenting, Harold. We've always looked for ways to illustrate what really goes on. At my workplace (as a software engineer), I STILL hear folks describe farming as "simple", and they seem to describe farmers as "less intelligent". Hopefully these videos can help folks to see the strength, ingenuity, and faith required to be a farmer.
Ok, I almost didn't watch this video because how long it was and because I'm mostly interested in small tractor stuff. But I thought I'd click on it and fast forward through most of it. I ended up watching the whole thing. Very interesting stuff. Thanks
This is typical of our farm videos, George. I would encourage you to watch some of the other ones. For example “ride along with Tim’s Dad...” is a tremendous episode. We have trouble getting folks to click on the farm videos, then, once they do, they seem to really appreciate them.
Tractor Time with Tim I think shorter segments would help. Part one should be 5 minutes long, then when you have the viewers hooked, hit them with the second and third part at 10 minutes each. Reel them in like that famous fisherman. Also you need to talk to the finance committee about getting drone for harvest time. Aerial footage of those cool machines plowing through the corn field would probably do real well.
George, we used to be VERY concerned about any video longer than 10 min. We tried to break them up like you mention, or just cut out good video to make them shorter. However, we got lots of ‘I wish your videos were longer...’ comments. So, we started experimenting. TH-cam provides analytics on all of this, so it is possible for us to see what folks (as a group, not individually) are watching. We found that folks are sticking with us for the entirety of these longer videos. Yes, we lose some viewers, but overall, we are seeing increased view time with the longer episodes. We can’t measure “I didn’t click that because it was too long” obviously. That is why I was curious about your comment. Again, thanks for taking the time to watch (and hopefully enjoy?) our videos!
Tim thanks for sharing this was truly an educational video for me now I does you Dad and the farm lease the tanks or do they own them ot does it kind of work like it does with the propane tanks for the grills as far as an exchange program I honestly believe I could sit down and talk with and listen to your dad for hours upon end learning about farming and different things he seems to be a wealth of knowledge along with tom and Randall and they all seem to be such genuine kind and knowledgeable guys I always look forward to these videos when you visit the farm. Thanks for taking the time to make and share these videos they are always entertaining and educational at the same time. Have a great week. God Bless!!!
Propane is bad also for burns being so cold. I burnt fingers a few times filling my tank for forklift or forgot to unhook the line also. Great video Tim!
these are the vids i really enjoy. so many think farmers are dumb hillbillies. like you i come from a family of farmers(potatoes and now onto broccoli) and i to went towards technology but i still love to learn about farming and the technology involved. great work
GREAT VIDEO ! your dad seems like a great guy . I was born in Crawford county Missouri but brought to new York (yuck ) as a youngster. but always wanted to be a farmer even though its an extremely hard life. I believe farmers don`t get the credit they deserve for feeding the world ! AS ALWAY`S THUMBS UP. ! THANKS PS. I`m a hvac engineer in new York city and we use a type of ammonia in some of our larger a/c units. very dangerous !
As always very interesting, have to keep my eye out for that around here in howell michigan, the farmer across the street still uses a manure spreader, that's not every year tho. Good video and it's fun to see your dad and Randal.
Dad always said "Knee high by July" but then he had a 8 Morgan Horse Team to tow his plows when he grew up on his Dad's farm. Naturally that was in the '20's .
very inspiring video. love the behind the scenes stuff on how farming works. as luke brian says rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey... and we all know what whiskey does to people,,, lol luke needs to have a verse on how much work goes into the corn,,,, keep up the great work to the whole family.. and two accidents in 40 years is a great record. just as long as there were there were just two minor accidents . i don't like seeing people getting hurt. every time I pull out my miller or Lincoln I burn myself even with my ppe gear lol even a few arc eye due to a bad autodarking cheap helmet
Excellent video Tim.I like when you talk to your dad, truly so much to learn.I watched this video carefully and still can't see how farmers drive large dual wheel tractors without destroying all of the corn rows, looks impossible but he does it.
Really is amazing to watch this sort of thing. From a technical perspective ,there is a LOT more to just popping a few seeds in the ground. This is a eye opener as to what it takes to feed a country of hungry bellies. Just the engineering alone in the tractors and the attachments is mind boggling. Let alone the knowledge of chemistry that is needed and how to apply it in order to get the plant to grow like an athlete can perform. Not to mention the fuel, maintenance etc.. Then there is the whole topic of the governing body that controls the whole process .. complicated.
Yes, you got it. We hope to show some of the complexities of farming and the types of folks that actually do it. This is a family farm of the 21st century. They hire one person (Terry, you see him in some of our videos) during the farming season. Other than that, all of the labor and management is done by my dad Ray, brother Tom, and nephew Randall. Of course, a few others (like me) stick our heads in once in awhile to mess things up :-) Thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment.
Thanks Boyd. We try to make decent content. Of course, we’re not professionals, nor are we models :-) ...but we do our best. Thanks for watching and commenting. Do you have a favorite video so far?
I would encourage you to watch the older videos. Unlike some channels, our episodes are pretty much stand-alone, so the episodes are still interesting, even after some age.
scariest moment of my childhood was being on a tractor with my grandpa when there was a leak in the tank...somehow he got me in the cattle trough to wash out and then I sprinted faster than I had ever run back to the house while he somehow managed to close the leak and of course keep working. Not being able to breathe, yell, or hardly see was...quite an experience. I didn't walk to close to those tanks after that, but I never even really understood what it was or what went wrong. Very cool to learn more about it on this video, and how much it costs!
Really interesting to see how this is done. Only experience with anhydrous ammonia I've ever had was being evacuated when a rail car full of it ruptured during a derailment near our house. We got out with no trouble and were back home the next morning, but some people who lived closer to the tracks weren't so lucky. I've seen the wagons like the one behind the tractor here while road-tripping through areas where it was being used, but never the actual application of it. I've always wondered how it could be safely used, knowing first hand it can be lethal as well. Thanks for the video.
There is a video here on you tube of an incident where there was a accident with a truck hauling a tank of this stuff. An officer responds and see's the farmer on the ground and the tank leaking. He tries to check for pulse and start CPR and her starts coughing and choking and then is overcome and passes out. All caught on dash cam. As a first responder, check the scene before you respond, you can't help anyone if your dead
This is likely the video you are referring to and it took less than 10 seconds from the LEO exiting his vehicle till becoming completely overcome by the AA cloud & incapacitated th-cam.com/video/znQwAcOQffQ/w-d-xo.html
Nice video Tim. Really enjoy the farming videos as well as your own work with Johnny, Casey and {who's next)? Farming is hard work and dangerous, but a very necessary occupation. Too many people take it for granted what it takes to put food on our table. God bless the farmers!
Great video Tim, It's always great to be on the farm and see another of the dangers farmers put up with but people never get to see. I though we were going to a side bar of Turtle soup in your video.
I used to make those couplers for those, they are stamped with a date which is only good for 5 years. After that exp. date they are supposed to be replaced. That one coupler was the biggest share of Parker Quick Couplings liability insurance. They are the only coupler that we sent out for cadmium plating as it was very expensive.
It is amazing how high tech farming has become. Not a single tractor of ours had anything higher tech than an hour gauge on it. Look at all those add on computer modules! Topping the tech, a couple of weeks ago I stopped by a farmer that had fully automated his Johnny's steering, throttle, hydrostatic drive and emergency shut-off. Instead of running large tractors along with wide implements (plow, disc, planter, etc) he was running a 1025R and smaller implements 24/7 BUT... without a driver! It's amazing how far things have come in 40 to 50 years... Do any of you have your 1025R's setup for fully autonomous plowing, planting, etc?
Wow first time i seen it apply like this down in mexico where i come from state of guanajuato we irrigated with 8'' water wells and we submerge the nitrogen hose in the ditch before it enters the corn fields and the first 100' of the ditch turn white , but works very well
Thanks so much Tim for sharing this with us. I know I sure appreciate it and learned something new. Around here, in Pennsylvania, the farmers spread manure: cow, solid or liquid, chicken, pig, and the dreaded human sewage sludge. Where have millions of chickens here, so lots of chicken manure.
Great video Tim nice to see your dad ! you can keep the AA i do not like it the guy down the road broke a hose just before i went by one day years ago and it burnt my lungs the doc said all i could do is drink a lot of water so i say away from that stuff even my little brother got behind a bad tank going to work and it made him very sick ! it is not to be played with ! have a great week ! Kioti Curt :-)
There is a mobile control room in this tractor. I always am shocked when I help my dad with corn in the fall. Farmers have better tech than most middle managers. He shows me maps of his fields with drones and strategically irrigates.
We used that stuff on corn and cotton as side dress. I am scared of that stuff. I was overcome one day when the supply hose connected to the old trip type regulator burst. I was on a 1066 IH open station tractor. The wind was at my back and the cloud enveloped me and I couldn't breath. I baled off the tractor while throttling it down and ran till I fell down. The tractor stalled out in the field. Couldn't get my breath. I inhaled it and it scorched my lungs. Told my boss I would quit if I had to put it out. Doctor said I was damn lucky. He let his brother put it out from then on. Be afraid be very afraid of it......
I was a trucker for many years over the road before I went Excavating most of the work in the company I work for which was extremely unusual and a very good company I pulled hazardous materials a lot actually most of the time lot of argon lot of nitrogen things like that nature tankers and tube trailers there are around 420 or 380 degrees below zero when it's compressed like that into liquid and yes time you are right and it's extremely dangerous at times we had a guy you lose his hand I'll blow off went off when he grabbed it sad but true and you're right always were some kind of safety gear and glasses and what you did was right by going upwind
Nothing to be sorry about. There are a variety of reasons (all of them positive) for delaying the purchase. We'll let you know as some of the plans firm up.
Tractor Time with Tim yeah he forgot to take his wife out for dinner and Wine & dine typical woman's , she's a good woman , ... take long now to get your tractor make sure it's a big fancy dinner get a nicer tractor Tim.. maybe a weekend retreat and dinner and wine maybe that'll work Tim
In the 1970's we would get our anhydrous in railroad cars and while my dad was emptying it into our storage tank a hose busted and burn my dad's arm and put him in the hospital for several days. For years he would not let us, boys, even change out tanks unless he was there. We were adult men. Just a couple years later we did go to liquid. There is a lot of farmers using dry also. Farming is a dangerous occupition.
This is about as interesting as your tractor buying vids!!!! Watching Randall drive the tractor is like watching a jet pilot!!! Lots of instrumentation!!!
As always Tim, great informative video. You have a fine family. There are a lot of "office" people that I guarantee you can't run and operate that farm equipment us dumb farmers have to use.
Your dad had a couple scary stories there. Glad he was ok aside from a likely scare and skin burn back then. Bet that hurt for awhile. Just goes to show how important safety is, because anything can happen and take your vision, or a limb. :(
Yes. There are multiple ways to apply fertilizer, and multiple fertilizers. Really only 2 ways to apply nitrogen to the standing corn. Liquid nitrogen is the other approach. More expensive.
@@TractorTimewithTim I live on a farm in germany and iam really interested how all you guys in the US are farming. So you on your farm apply liquid fertilizer with the sprayer and NH3 with the anhydrous bar?
My family applies granular fertilizer. 200lb 18-46-0 and 200lb 0-0-60 per acre before planting. Those rates are the general amount. They use variable rate technology to apply specific amounts to specific areas of the field. Then, they use anhydrous for ‘side dressing’...applying nitrogen to the standing corn. We do not use liquid, but some other farmers in the area do.
Thanks SO much, Tim, for posting this video! As a chemist, I've always wondered how super cold ammonia liquid could effectively be applied to soil. Now I know! :-)
You're dad says so much with very few words. I love those stores. Experience talking.
I could listen to your dad tell his stories all day long ! The experiences and knowledge he has from a life of farming is just fascinating. Thanks for sharing
Good stuff, isn't it!?
I really enjoy your Dad and brother talking about the ins and outs of their operations. Found your channel by accident but im hooked keep up the producing your awesome videos. Gotta love them OLIVERS
What a great behind the scenes look at this operation. Glad to see your dad is looking as good as ever.
We've got one more coming up from the same day. ...but different activity...with my brother Tom. He was spraying herbicide while Randall and Dad were applying Ammonia.
Really enjoyed listening to Randall and your Dad, as always a great video.
Thanks Karl.
Your paw sounds like a very nice man. I could learn so much from him. I used to talk to the old timers when I was a boy. I once talked to a 105 year old lady who came to Montana from Nebraska morning in the 1880s. She said the Indians were still wearing feathers when she came to Montana!
That's amazing
Man what a farmer has to go through to produce food for us. God bless the farmers!!!
Randall is very smart and knows what he's doing. Thanks Tim for carrying us along. God Bless!
Thanks Steve!
They get paid very well for it, they wouldnt be doing it if not
I could talk to your Dad for hours!!!!
Your family is a wealth of knowledge and I love watching you guys but your dad takes the cake!
I know. I’ll never be half the man my dad is!
Tractor Time with Tim. I don't know if I agree with that to him
I don't know? Looks like your on the right track.
Super informative! Loved hearing from the old buck!
I really enjoyed watching your videos. My wife and I are just starting the venture of starting our own 80 acre farm. Tiny compared to what you are doing here. Thank you for making this video and thanks to all the farmers and their hands for keeping America Alive.
I could listen to your dad for hours reminds me of my grandfather the knowledge he had of animals and the land was incredible
Thanks Jason!
Awesome video, love getting the knowledge from older farmers. They know what works and what doesnt. Great video!!
Knowledge from DAD, invaluable as a voice of experience. Great vid pointing the benefits of N and dangers handling these products. Thanks Tim and family.

That is absolutely amazing. I had no idea this was a method for delivering nitrogen to crops. Unbelievable. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your feedback, Mike. Glad you enjoyed it.
Should be outlawed. Destroys the soil over time.
Very interesting. Wonderful that u can drop by the family farm...ur father is one tough amazing gentleman
Yes. Dad is tough. Had a stroke a couple weeks ago. Just finishing rehab (already). Looks like he has regained full mobility.
I enjoy your channel. I like seeing the farming and listening to your dad's sage words.
Thanks Mark!
Awesome. Always good seeing your Dad, I'm glad he's doing well.
As a old farmer I can relate to the dangers of applying Anhydrous. Love your videos
Tim, your videos always make me smile and I look forward to them.
Thanks!

Randell really knows his stuff and is very good at explaining it.
Great video!! Your Dad is such a wealth of knowledge. I love the family farm videos.
Thanks Tim!
Tim thanks for sharing this was truly an educational video for me now I does you Dad and the farm lease the tanks or do they own them ot does it kind of work like it does with the propane tanks for the grills as far as an exchange program I honestly believe I could sit down and talk with and listen to your dad for hours upon end learning about farming and different things he seems to be a wealth of knowledge along with tom and Randall and they all seem to be such genuine kind and knowledgeable guys I always look forward to these videos when you visit the farm. Thanks for taking the time to make and share these videos they are always entertaining and educational at the same time. Have a great week. God Bless!!!
Tank usage is ‘free’ when you buy the product. Those guys weigh empties and full tanks and handle all of the refilling.
Thanks very informative! Enjoy your Father! Miss my dear Dad!
Your videos are so incredibly informative, Thank You ! I could listen to your Dad all day
Thanks for the kind words!
Keep the videos with your dad coming. I really enjoy them.
Thanks John.
Interesting, informative, and well-presented. Better living through chemistry - and farming! Thanks.
These guys are fascinating
Enjoyed the video and the stories with your Dad!
Tim your farming videos are my favorite, really love your Dad they don't make em like him anymore.
Thanks. ...and I agree. There aren’t many like my dad!
Tim your dad looked like “come on we’re wasting daylight” in the beginning when he walked away 😋
Always look forward to your videos!!
Watching it, I agree. That is EXACTLY what he was “saying”!!!
thanks a lot for taking the time to give us some insights! :)
Very informative video! Thank you for sharing
Propane is bad also for burns being so cold. I burnt fingers a few times filling my tank for forklift or forgot to unhook the line also. Great video Tim!
Interesting process, Tim. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up.
Tim this was fun did realize what it takes to take care of the corn I may learn how much it takes to Farm
God Bless
PaK
Thanks for watching!
these are the vids i really enjoy. so many think farmers are dumb hillbillies. like you i come from a family of farmers(potatoes and now onto broccoli) and i to went towards technology but i still love to learn about farming and the technology involved. great work
Thanks Erik!

I`m a hvac engineer in new York city and we use a type of ammonia in some of our larger a/c units. very dangerous !
I wish you could come fix my mini-split! :-)
Thanks for watching and commenting.
lol ! this is a very busey time of the year ! and I`m retired ! like they say a rolling stone gathers no moss .
Give us a video in a few weeks so we can see the change in the corn, very interesting, thanks 🌽 :)
As always very interesting, have to keep my eye out for that around here in howell michigan, the farmer across the street still uses a manure spreader, that's not every year tho. Good video and it's fun to see your dad and Randal.

Funny thing is, duals are no more difficult than singles :-)
I've seen this done seems like it makes good sense.
Nice video tim,and good explanation how it works 👍👍
Thanks Johan.
That is an interesting process and thanks for sharing. The snapping turtle was a bonus as it has been awhile since I seen one.
Thanks for watching all the way through, Lod! Not many comments on the snapper!
Hi Tim,
Thank you for the excellent video explaining Anhydrous application. You get an A+ for your video! :-)
Thanks Tom!

Thanks for watching and commenting.
Do you have a favorite video so far?
I think I started with you cleaning up the rental back yard......and have been intrigued with the tractor shopping videos
I would encourage you to watch the older videos. Unlike some channels, our episodes are pretty much stand-alone, so the episodes are still interesting, even after some age.

Nice to see that Honda Ridgeline on the farm! World wide production for it is in Alabama.
We love our Ridgeline.
Great video Tim👍👍
Thanks John!
Interesting and relaxing.
Spring time! 2019! Show them!!!!!
o9h the memories.... i filled those tanks for about 5 years....
Nice flat fields!
It is amazing how high tech farming has become. Not a single tractor of ours had anything higher tech than an hour gauge on it. Look at all those add on computer modules!
Topping the tech, a couple of weeks ago I stopped by a farmer that had fully automated his Johnny's steering, throttle, hydrostatic drive and emergency shut-off.
Instead of running large tractors along with wide implements (plow, disc, planter, etc) he was running a 1025R and smaller implements 24/7 BUT... without a driver!
It's amazing how far things have come in 40 to 50 years...
Do any of you have your 1025R's setup for fully autonomous plowing, planting, etc?
We sidedress with 28-0-0. Both during planting and after planting.
Wow first time i seen it apply like this down in mexico where i come from state of guanajuato we irrigated with 8'' water wells and we submerge the nitrogen hose in the ditch before it enters the corn fields and the first 100' of the ditch turn white , but works very well
Tim, where do y’all purchase your tank refills from?
Thanks so much Tim for sharing this with us. I know I sure appreciate it and learned something new. Around here, in Pennsylvania, the farmers spread manure: cow, solid or liquid, chicken, pig, and the dreaded human sewage sludge. Where have millions of chickens here, so lots of chicken manure.
Great video Tim nice to see your dad ! you can keep the AA i do not like it the guy down the road broke a hose just before i went by one day years ago and it burnt my lungs the doc said all i could do is drink a lot of water so i say away from that stuff even my little brother got behind a bad tank going to work and it made him very sick ! it is not to be played with ! have a great week ! Kioti Curt :-)
Wow. I wonder if you are extra sensitive, or if you got right into the liquid?
There is a mobile control room in this tractor. I always am shocked when I help my dad with corn in the fall. Farmers have better tech than most middle managers. He shows me maps of his fields with drones and strategically irrigates.
We used that stuff on corn and cotton as side dress. I am scared of that stuff. I was overcome one day when the supply hose connected to the old trip type regulator burst.

He let his brother put it out from then on. Be afraid be very afraid of it......
How close are you to Kentucky Tim?
I was a trucker for many years over the road before I went Excavating most of the work in the company I work for which was extremely unusual and a very good company I pulled hazardous materials a lot actually most of the time lot of argon lot of nitrogen things like that nature tankers and tube trailers there are around 420 or 380 degrees below zero when it's compressed like that into liquid and yes time you are right and it's extremely dangerous at times we had a guy you lose his hand I'll blow off went off when he grabbed it sad but true and you're right always were some kind of safety gear and glasses and what you did was right by going upwind
I want to see your new tractor
Tractor purchase on hold for now.
Tractor Time with Tim sorry dude didn’t know
Nothing to be sorry about. There are a variety of reasons (all of them positive) for delaying the purchase. We'll let you know as some of the plans firm up.
Tractor Time with Tim yeah he forgot to take his wife out for dinner and Wine & dine typical woman's , she's a good woman , ... take long now to get your tractor make sure it's a big fancy dinner get a nicer tractor Tim.. maybe a weekend retreat and dinner and wine maybe that'll work Tim
I wonder if I cod use the ammonia sold in stores as a fertilizer
In the 1970's we would get our anhydrous in railroad cars and while my dad was emptying it into our storage tank a hose busted and burn my dad's arm and put him in the hospital for several days. For years he would not let us, boys, even change out tanks unless he was there. We were adult men. Just a couple years later we did go to liquid. There is a lot of farmers using dry also. Farming is a dangerous occupition.
Bobby Pool thank the Lord he's okay liquid products of that nature are extremely dangerous I worked with them your dad's a hundred percent right
This is about as interesting as your tractor buying vids!!!! Watching Randall drive the tractor is like watching a jet pilot!!! Lots of instrumentation!!!
cool turtle!!!!!!
Yea! Thanks for watching and commenting on that. We liked it too!
Can you apply this to tomato plants Tim?
I suppose you could, but would not be worth the risk. Other forms of nitrogen would be easier.
Do you get seed from FS Gromark? Or just the anhydrous, saw the fs logo wasn’t sure
Seed comes from Corteva. Pioneer Hybrids.
I spry regular household ammonia on the front yard. Along with magnesium sulfate. It turns it good deep green.
As always Tim, great informative video. You have a fine family. There are a lot of "office" people that I guarantee you can't run and operate that farm equipment us dumb farmers have to use.
Yep! Agree! Thanks!
Thanks for another great farm life video. Can you please explain (for us non farmers ) why use liquid nitrogen instead of dry.
Cost. ...Dad discusses that in the video.
What kind of corn are ya growing? Everybody have a spray license?
yes, everyone is licensed. However, applying this Ammonia does not require a license.
So how does the cost per unit on nitrogen. Compare to other sources? For instance, ammonium nitrate, urea ,or n sol
Anhydrous Ammonia is cheapest.
Anhydrous ammonia is a refrigerant..... Some companys who have big freezers use it....
How many acers is that corn feild?
I think we mentioned it in the video :-)
I guess I gotta pay better attention then lol.
It is a square 40, but a bit of it not farmable. I think Randall said 36-37 acres.
Ok thanks. I was just curious.
Your dad had a couple scary stories there. Glad he was ok aside from a likely scare and skin burn back then. Bet that hurt for awhile. Just goes to show how important safety is, because anything can happen and take your vision, or a limb. :(
I would say "just goes to show that no matter how much you focus on safety, accidents will happen". We must depend on God to take care of us.
Where you located? I swear I’ve seen you. I’m from laffy, Indiana
Carmel. Welcome to our channel.
Great video!:) Is there any other way to apply fertilizer on the farm for corn (and beans of course) beside the anhydrous application?
Yes. There are multiple ways to apply fertilizer, and multiple fertilizers.
Really only 2 ways to apply nitrogen to the standing corn. Liquid nitrogen is the other approach. More expensive.
@@TractorTimewithTim I live on a farm in germany and iam really interested how all you guys in the US are farming. So you on your farm apply liquid fertilizer with the sprayer and NH3 with the anhydrous bar?
My family applies granular fertilizer. 200lb 18-46-0 and 200lb 0-0-60 per acre before planting.
Those rates are the general amount. They use variable rate technology to apply specific amounts to specific areas of the field.
Then, they use anhydrous for ‘side dressing’...applying nitrogen to the standing corn.
We do not use liquid, but some other farmers in the area do.
@@TractorTimewithTim thank you so much for answers! I really appreciate it!:)
The best refrigerant for the best corn
Thanks SO much, Tim, for posting this video! As a chemist, I've always wondered how super cold ammonia liquid could effectively be applied to soil. Now I know! :-)
Interesting. I hope we did a decent job of explaining.
Thanks for your comment!
What size tractor is that 8r we’ve been looking to upgrade to one soon but haven’t had a chance to.
Come on Chase, he mentions the model number repeatedly in this video :-)
cool
Great video! Do you have any idea what variety of corn this is?
What variety? It is Pioneer Hybrid. Do you need the actual hybrid number?
All set Tim, thank you very much!
PS: your dad reminds me of my father! God bless you all.
This field is Pioneer P1498AM.
that was a cool turtle you should have taken him home with you
Snappin turtles are plentiful there.
do they rent that applicator bar or is this one owned because they are often rented as you most likely know
They own the unit.
thanks
my dad hated a stick in the field too that's funny he had to pick that up and throw it in the fencerow you're dad don't miss a trick!
He has always thrown the sticks to the fence row just like that!
