Yahoo ! was frequent as we brewed 1500 gallons at a time, transported the brewer on trailer to the field, brewing the entire trip, applying the 1500 by helicopter to the first 150 acres pm thursday, brewing again that night, applying another 1500 g the next PM, another 150 acres. Chopper! What an exciting way to apply. 300 acres in about 6 hours total application time.

 

Air! So much air required in that tank waves rocked the trailer.

Some statistics:

Alaska Humus kelp, humic acid, fish in the brew.

Air delivered 125 cfm at 88 inches deep

Added 6 g fish to each 64g ACT as it was added to Chopper tanks.

Chopper took 70 g at a time.

Round trip from loaded, spray application to ready to load again 4 minutes.

Application rate 10 GPA.

Spring wheat was 6" up at time of spray.

Soil test samples were made before application.

SFI tests were submitted on ACT. Don't have results yet.

Can't Wait for those tests. Will let you know.
YAHOO !! was Kevin's word as he reeled out of the chopper. Bob
