Welcome back, dear farmer friends! Have you ever thought about the issues to consider before starting precision spreading? Yet, this activity is often carried out improperly. There are many things that can go wrong when spreading, in particular the type and quantity of fertilizer or manure used.
Nowadays, spreaders have become essential tools for agricultural production par excellence along with a reduced environmental impact: here are some tips to enjoy all benefits.
What’s the first rule to avoid mistakes? First of all, it is important to consider cropping systems like small areas with different needs. Don’t view a very wide cornfield as a single entity but as the sum of many lots - each of them having its peculiarities. The purpose of precision spreading is to offer proper nourishment based on the real needs of both crops and the land, in order to optimize the yield and to increase sustainability.
Anyway, before using the latest technologies, it is important to be familiar with your land and the specific needs of your crops, avoiding unnecessary processing that might damage or harm the environment.

In addition to the latest technologies and processing methods, choosing the right tires become essential when the final aim is to increase efficiency.
