Farmers are also preparing a lot of equipment to run after months of downtime.
Crop tech advisors are looking under the hood to save you some time later on.
First, check the nozzles on the sprayers, make sure they are clean and free of clogs, and replace older ones to keep optimal fan patterns.
Secondly, map out fields and make sure field names and boundaries are loaded into your system to streamline your spraying process.
Thirdly, inspect wear points by walking around the sprayer, grease all moving parts, and check hydraulic hoses and tires for wear.
Lastly, flush the sprayer. If you did not do it last season, analysts at Farm Progress say get it done to avoid contamination from previous products.
