Western Wisconsin Conservation Council
to host field day June 17
Agrometer will demonstrate cutting-edge manure applicator
BALDWIN, Wis. — Western Wisconsin Conservation Council on June 17 will host representatives from Agrometer, a Danish company, for a rare live demonstration of a new technology that allows liquid manure to be applied to standing corn.
Attendees at the field day will receive information about how the use of the Agrometer SDS 8000 self-propelled dribble bar applicator might transform the way nutrients are managed in the soil with little damage to growing crops.
According to Agrometer, there are currently no SDS 8000 machines being used in the United States. The SDS 8000 being demonstrated at the field day is being borrowed from Canada.
