@Cropsfarm24 @SethAmaxwell You are correct! We rotate fungicides weekly to target different diseases and to manage resistance. We also mix in some micronutrients.

@Cropsfarm24 @thall8310 @jamesramsey1 @CoryRitter @thefarmerslife Ours is an 8 row with the end transport. Very nice planter! I've heard the 12 rows work just fine!

#plant18 finally finished!

@sheldon_alt I've looked into it. This farm is just on a 1 year lease.

[Nathan Libey @NLibey]

Think this one would benefit from some fill. First try at #irrgate18

[Nathan Libey @NLibey]

@AndrewMortensen We have used one for digging. So far we have only used for fresh chip stock with no problems. I am a little concerned with bruising in russet and storage crops.

New crop cart loader in action. #plant18 continues for atleast this week. #endisinsight
