This year the Ag Expo (July 11-13) field demonstrations will highlight a range of crop care activities: pesticide application, row cultivation and side dressing.
Self-propelled sprayers are becoming more common as farm size increases. Several self-propelled sprayers as well as trailer units will be shown at Ag Expo. Visitors will be able to ride-and-drive the sprayers and try out various features such as nozzles and air-assist booms that reduce drift and improve targeting, GPS guidance systems using light-bar technology, foam markers, ground driven pumps and hydraulic and self-leveling booms.
