The work in the fields began yesterday.  Bradon and John were applying NH3 to corn fields here at home.  Brandon D was their tank delivery support.  I was spraying wheat with a mixture of herbicide, insecticide, growth regulator, and biologic enhancers.

Brandon had to go slower in the morning because it was chilly.

The NH3 went into the soil very nicely and efficiently.

John got the big rig rolling in the afternoon, and it was going pretty well.

There were a few ‘first day’ bugs, which with the NH3 application, is usually bits of rust from the tanks getting into some orifices in the NH3 metering system.

These tasks will continue today and tomorrow, but strong winds are predicted for Thursday, and that would stop the sprayer.  It is my goal to get all the wheat crop covered with this pass this week.  Got about 1/4 of the crop applied yesterday.
