@JakeZwagerman @AgroConceptos I currently have a older model, We have done test. Personally I am not sold on it 100% because I believe there is many factors that go into this. We have found air temperature from the compressor to the head is important along with air flow droplet size. We need to keep learning.

@AgroConceptos Every one that has used it here has returned it
So hoping they can sell it some place else and no one tests it and just believes it works.

La tecnología que ya se prueba en EE.UU. y todavía no llegó a Argentina:
Imaginate esto: el 78% del aire que respirás es nitrógeno. Las plantas lo necesitan para crecer. Pero no pueden tomarlo directamente del aire.
Por eso los productores gastamos fortunas en fertilizantes nitrogenados importados.
Hasta ahora.
Una tecnología llamada Green Lightning está cambiando las reglas del juego:
→ Captura nitrógeno directamente de la atmósfera
→ Lo convierte en fertilizante líquido
→ Todo en el mismo campo, sin intermediarios
¿Las ventajas?
• No dependés de importaciones ni de precios volátiles
• Reducís costos de logística (el fertilizante se hace donde lo necesitás)
• Producís bajo demanda: lo que necesitás, cuando lo necesitás
• Menor huella de carbono (adiós camiones recorriendo miles de km)
La ironía del agro moderno:
Estamos parados sobre un océano de nitrógeno (literal, el aire), pero pagamos fortunas para traerlo de lejos.
Es como tener agua en el río y comprar botellas importadas.
Esta tecnología cierra ese círculo absurdo.
El futuro del campo no es solo producir más.
Es producir de forma más inteligente, sostenible y autónoma.
Y tecnologías como esta son el camino

@MaxROIFarmer @sean_nettleton Was just on the phone exploring moving to 24 row “cheap” strippers today. Think I should just quit farming if I gotta pay that much. Freaking nuts

How much yield will premature death in my corn cut yield???
It is extremely difficult to predict but corn around half milk line that dies will have yields cut around 10% according to older studies. With today's late season grain fill and kernel flex I feel the number is closer to 15%.
Fungicide trials with a check, 1 and 2 applications will help us put a better number on that when the weigh wagons come out.
Nice article below.

@247dotAg You can switch the all white area in SCMN from white to black out RED. It’s hitting hard the last days and at a crazy pace

Farming is in a struggle right now and not enough people are talking about the actual numbers;
USDA's Corn Yield x Avg. Farm Price per bushel
2023-2024 : $806.72 per acre
2024-2025 : $779.96 per acre
2025-2026 : $760.20 per acre
Income is down 5.76%, nominally.
If we include inflation, $806.72 in April 2023 would have the same buying power as $853.07 in April 2025 (according to BLS CPI Inflation Calculator).
That means $760.20 in April 2025 would have the same buying power as $718.89 in April of 2023.
So to compare apples to apples, income adjusted for inflation, is down 10.89%.
That's why it feels so hard right now. Because if any other industry lost nearly 11% of its purchasing power in 2 years, there would be a rebellion.

@corn_porkNbeans I bought a new Eby last fall and have loved it so far. It's probably not fair to give advice since I haven't had it that long. Personally, I think they all 3 are good options.

New hopper bottom trailer for farm use. Who you picking? All specs the same. And why? #agtwitter #agx

@FoulkShay Chopping vs non Chopping yes. My stand in more uniform with Chopping after strip till.Haven't had stalks blow back over planter furrow & make a matte after rain like I did before did a strip chop no chop 2 years ago 6 bu better but could have been the year tbh. Strip Till it pays

We have been no-till/strip till soybeans behind corn for 6 years. Have really liked Yetter devestators for residue breakdown and for seeding covers into, moisture retention etc. Looking at a bigger corn head, and thinking about the actual $ value add/benefit they provide vs. stompers (we will not go to chopping). I am curious on others experience that are also running strip till or no-till soybeans after corn.
