Faster, simpler
Mid-County Agronomy em-
ployees use a loader to take fer-
tilizer from its storage bins to
the blending system.
Inside the facility, fertilizer
is loaded into a metal hopper
(left), where it will be elevated
to the tower.
At right the photo shows the
spout where mixed fertilizer is
dumped into trucks.
A streamlined system
Lighted buttons (below) indicate which bin will be
fi lled. To control the location, a wheel is turned until
the correct bin lights up.
A similar system is used during the blending pro-
cess. Below, Scott Nelson controls which bins will be
emptied and mixed together.
Each fertilizer order is documented by product
type, customer name, date, and delivery driver. Many
customers order a variety of blends, depending on the
needs of each specifi c fi eld. Customers also have the
option of utilizing variable-rate technology (VRT),
which involves soil sampling to measure precise fertil-
izer needs.
Ready for the field
Mid-County Agronomy uses
Case IH fertilizer applicators
for fertilizer application. The
computerized machines have
70-foot booms, and deliver
highly accurate applications.
These units use satellite
guided steering, GPS tracking
and, of course...cruise control.
