Frolicking In The Fields!



Do you know what NH3 stands for on the periodic table of numerous elements? I will give you a hint, it is a stinky gas like substance that you shouldn't put in direct connect of any palomino pony. It is a rank smelling phenomena that can only be handled by the professionals. Not drug dealer professionals only farmer professionals, don't be confused.



That's right ladies and gents, we are talking about Anhydrous Ammonia. Look closely at the white tanks, they are filled with NH3. This "organic matter" gets shot into the ground by the big blue Anhydrous Applicator, placing billions of nutrients throughout the soil. Thus helping the crops grow big and strong for next seasons harvest.



The putting on of NH3 is a very important piece of the puzzle, when it comes to our farming lifestyle. For those of you who have been following my daily jaunts for quite sometime, you have began to see a pattern develop in our farming community (that everyone runs green equipment, good guess silly readers). You have seen that we are keepers of the land, we do whatever it takes to enhance our yearly crops. NH3 is one of those special stepping stones that the farmstead takes in order to benefit the land for the next generation.



Speaking of "Next Generation", we find out on Monday what little farmer we will be having...

Sincerely,
Farming Fabulously
