US Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) is an industry group that brings together more than 80 farmer and rancher-led organizations and agricultural partners representing virtually all aspects of agriculture. The Alliance works to raise awareness of, and demystify the agriculture and food supply industries. It works to engage in dialogue with consumers who have questions about how today’s food is grown and raised. Their goals is to increase confidence and trust in today’s agriculture.

Most Americans have never stepped foot on a farm or ranch or even talked to the people who grow and raise the food consumer’s eat. The movie “Farmland” takes an intimate look at the lives of farmers and ranchers in their ‘20s, all of whom are now responsible for running their farming business.

The film, by award-winning director, James Moll, allows consumers to step inside the world of farming for a first-hand glimpse into the lives of young farmers and ranchers. Learn about their high-risk/high reward jobs and passion for a way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation, yet continues to evolve.

Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders


This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
