Last month, NAAA teamed with the Association of Equipment
Manufacturers and Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) to cohost a field day
to educate staff from the EPA’s Office of Water and the USDA’s Natural
Resources Conservation Service about precision nutrient applications and the
technologies aerial applicators use to make precise liquid and dry
applications.
The video below shows Allen Chorman & Son pilot Mark
Greenly making two seeding passes in a fixed-wing Thrush, followed by Brock
Heffner of Helicopter Applicators Inc. (HAI) dispensing pelletized limestone
from an Isolair spreader bucket while flying a Bell 206L3 LongRanger
helicopter.
The video includes an interview with NAAA Executive Director
Andrew Moore as well as interviews with representatives from the Association of
Equipment Manufacturers, John Deere, the National Corn Growers Association and
other participants from the agriculture industry.
