Dan Wilson changed from fall application of NH3 to spring application with the help of the Yetter All-Steer Fertilizer cart. He purchased the cart and used it to mount two 1000-gallon steel tanks to apply anhydrous ammonia. With the help of the cart and his 24-row planter, he plants and fertilizes approximately 50 acres between fills.
“I won't put on spring ammonia unless I know the application will stay between the rows—I don't want ammonia damage on new growth,” Dan said. “We plant thousands of acres of hillsides, and the Yetter All-Steer Cart stays right in the tracks.”
“This process is not for the weak at heart. But, when we apply nitrogen in the spring when and where the plant needs it, we save time and money,” Dan said. With the help of the Yetter All-Steer cart, he saves 30 to 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Dan also reports that 70 percent of his crop labor requirements occur between September and December, so shifting some of that labor to spring is a big plus.
