Sidedressing Corn | BTC Ep.#03

Our June Beyond The Crop episode features us sidedressing corn. Sidedressing is the application of fertilizer between the rows of growing crops in-season. Corn utilizes large quantities of nitrogen during the grand growth stage. In this video we are applying 32-0-0 liquid nitrogen with a Fast A26-60 toolbar pulled by a John Deere 8RX 370.
About BTC: Beyond The Crop is a series we've teamed up with Corteva Agriscience to create to show what goes into putting out a crop on a farm every year.

this machine really needs tractor with over 300hp? or maybe it would work with 150hp tractor?

[@treytonzoss1853]

Nicely done, as always! You guys have a really sweet setup going there!
Are you worried about losing any nitrogen to volatilization without having closing coulters behind the knives?

[@PoynterFamilyFarms]

Thanks! Injecting it deep enough with the knives really doesn’t put the nitrogen at much risk to volatilizations from what we’ve seen since it isn’t sitting out on the surface. A rain to come along after the application is certainly helpful though.

Does the nitrogen come into the tanker trailer as a liquid or granulates? Great video!

[@PoynterFamilyFarms]

Hi Nikolai! The nitrogen in the tanker is a liquid! The product is 32-0-0
