Long straight passes , makes life less stressful

It’s good for humility to have some Nob and Kettle terrain. Forget long and straight😂 it froze so hard Thursday night that volunteer lentils 11/2 tall are toasted but Canola on Lentil stubble were untouched, guess cause the ground was black.

Load dry phos once every 500 ac

Furrow just curious, you have a large liquid tank for fertilizer, a small liquid tank for your Alpine product, why additional dry phos? When seeding wheat then just liquid fertilizer and Alpine? With your Bourgault drill liquid or dry fertilizer? For the record my son tells me I always ask too many questions lol.

We started using dry phos with the Bourgault a few years ago after I set up an extra delivery tank for dry on tender trailer
Been using just Alpine as a phos source for nearly 20 years , works very well but just barely enough phos for a decent crop . So we add 25-30 dry now along with Alpine in furrow to keep levels up . Has helped a lot and yeilds show it
That’s why we set up the SM the way we did
The Bourgault gets all 4 as well , seed , N , Alpine and dry phos .
All sulfur is spread once every 5 years in the form of bio Sul

My tender trailer …


Seed in tandem , Liquid N in big tank , Alpine tank then I mounted an ole Flexi coil air tank on the front with a side cute we fabricated in shop for the dry phos
We use 11-52 for the cereals and Top Phos for the canola because of the very low salt index

That way one unit and one guy can keep both drills going

Great setup furrow. 2 more questions. Why not add 10-34 to the liquid nitrogen? What about potash?

Could add 10-34 for sure , but that would be more liquid to haul around , more storage tanks in yard and potential issues blending when filling .
Potash can be added through Alpine system if needed and or foliar with herbicides .
Or potash can be easily blended with the dry on either set up as well if needed
