Q&A

Why do you filter out the chunks from the fertilizer?

Filtering out the chunks prevents them from clogging the equipment during the seeding process and ensures even distribution of the fertilizer.

Why did the batteries in the tractor leak acid?

It is likely that the batteries froze, causing them to leak acid. Replacing the batteries resolved the issue.

Why is calibration important?

Calibration ensures that the fertilizer is accurately applied, preventing over or under-application, which can impact crop yield and efficiency.

What are the challenges with loading different types of fertilizer?

Different types of fertilizer may have varying consistencies, such as chunky potash or crystal nitrogen, which require adjustments in the loading process.

Why is accurate seeding important?

Accurate seeding ensures that the right amount of fertilizer is applied to each plant, promoting healthy growth and optimizing crop yield.
