Ditching the nonsense by using #T3RRA for all drainage issues in Manitoba Canada @ennsbros 😉 It's time to become more efficient & work smarter with #T3RRA ditching solutions! @pts_ag @t3rratech

Add Guidance lines in #T3RRA Collect step by pressing the Guidance line button. You can use Markers for the GPS locations for both of the points.
The highlighted line & light bar will display a visual representation of your location relative to the lines @pts_ag @t3rratech

Rainfall simulation tool in #T3RRA allows a very visual & easily relatable analysis of how a field surface affects water runoff & ponding. 'Stop at Counter' allows you to compare the remaining water at a specific counter value between design & original surfaces @pts_ag @t3rratech

AutoPath Rows track and tread spacing questions for sprayers are common this week. Reference this guide if you are having challenges. #PFM @JohnDeere #apply26

Sprayers are rolling and nozzle selection questions are coming in. It's impossible to remember every nozzle option across ExactApply, See & Spray, and conventional modes.
The @JohnDeere Equipment Mobile app's Nozzle Select tool makes finding the correct nozzle easier. #apply26

#apply26 questions are rolling in.
If your #johndeere sprayer or rate controller is actually applying product but not recording coverage, make sure your flow meter is actually reading flow.
Troubleshooting section from 4830 owner's manual applies to most every sprayer.
Google "paperclip flow meter test" for a quick way to validate if it is wiring issue or your flow meter. @KibbleEquipment @PVEQUIP @ValleyPlains – at Minnesota, USA

Started my agronomy career in Southern Alberta dryland.
Common practice was to spray gly at 3-5 USG and stretch rates. Guys swore by it. Covered big acres, everything got killed and it saved a couple trips with the water truck. But, some of us were pushing back, telling them they needed more water.
Then in 2011, gly-resistant kochia was found. I could take you out to the exact field. It’s been a beast since.
The 10 USG is there for a reason. For the average operation, it has been found to work best.
When everything else is dialled in and conditions are ideal, low volumes can work, but part of the reason that pesticide resistance is an issue is that those critical pieces of information get lost in the “what works for me” telephone game.
I’m not an equipment expert, but when I get called cause the chem isn’t working, sometimes it’s due to poor nozzle/volume/speed combos on the machine.
A couple customers have these machines, and they are super impressive, but as an agronomist, this low water volume talk, without the necessary provisions, makes me anxious.
If the claim is that this specific machine can do a great job at high wind and low water, make that claim with your whole chest, but be specific.
We’ve been down the path of “my neighbor can get away with only spraying 5 gallons so I can too” and it’s gotten us Group 2,4,9,14 resistant weeds.

Mike, I know I'm being pretty hard on you for this. But it's wrong to think that using finer sprays will solve weed control problems. That approach instead creates more serious issues that affect agriculture as a whole.
Ya. I was always of the same thinking before 10 inch spacing and reduced boom heights.
Then I started to notice over the years the kochia on headlands. Everyone reducing pressure to reduce drift with course droplets on headlands. Then baby kochia survives. How can you control drift with course droplets but also control baby kochia with the fine hairs that need fine droplets without using a residual ?
Ask this question often and no one has a great answer. Would you rather have drift control or perfect coverage ? It’s always a mix of both. Never perfect on either.

Common seeding documentation issue we have had the past few years: an extra virtual operation gets added to your planting layer.
Symptoms:
• Acres doubled in Operations Center
• Two varieties showing; one as "---"
Fix is to remove the duplicate implement/operation.
If you have this issue with data in your Ops Center, contact your dealer. DTAC solution 215027 advises how to have @JohnDeere fix.

With dirt moving season quickly approaching be sure that your #T3RRA tablet is ready. When storing the tablet in the off season, it is recommended to charge it periodically and keep it stored in a temperature controlled environment to help the battery health. @t3rrausa @pts_ag
