Rain Welcomed By Most

Aug 13, 2019

If your crops are pulse, like peas and lentils, this rain may be an unwanted delay.

But for most, it will most likely be a slight boost to the ground and crops within.

Parrish and Heimbecker Moose Jaw's General Manager Kerry Olson, said farmers are prepared for this weather.

"It's not going to damage it, by means of sprouts or anything nasty like that. Maybe a bit of disease if they're slower in development. But the guys have been out there spraying a lot of product to try to protect and save too."

Depending on the maturity set, said Olson, he's noticed that sometimes it can help bring on the maturity of a crop slightly.

Overall, this rain is a very welcomed sight.

"That little bit just before harvest I think that's just a breath of fresh air and closes up the big cracks in the ground a little bit too."

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
