- FARMING METHODS
- anhydrous and H-three are being sprayed using an '85 Cat and 46 foot applicator. 210 pounds anhydrous is being put on with a guiding system to prevent overlap. Corn is being planted behind him also using a guiding system so planting is done inbetween rows of anhydrous so it doesn't get planted too deep.
