#Weedit savings for today. Sprayed 400 acres used 280gal of water. Used 77 litres of roundup, 2.5 gallons of 24D. Getting about 2L of roundup on each weed and 7 oz of 24d. That would have cost $7200 at that rate on 400 acres. It only cost me $700 or $1.75/Ac

Scaled tanks are incredible! 5 different products going down and them all within a couple lbs/ac within one round. Nice to never have to do a static calibration, incredible time saving.

Last field of #harvest21 only it’s a big one 1000 acres #canola to go. That will conclude close to 8000 acres with one s680! Effeciency at harvest starts with the drill, don’t let your drill dictate how or when you #plant22

Beautiful AC Starbuck coming up on lentil #chemfallow seeded April 8th. Wheat definitely can careless about the cold, no burnoff, no weeds. This is why it’s important to get out early. Get your crop ahead of the weeds, let it do some work! #grow22 @GMacsAgTeam #ultraearlytrial
