Question fpr BTOs

Posted by Texasmark1 on November 22, 2020 at 08:11:08 from (184.63.33.153):

BTO leased an overgrown, grass/weed infested, hadn't seen steel nor NPK for a decade, field next door, Houston Black Clay soil. Comes in with a 24' tandem disc and makes a couple of passes passes spaced over several days to allow time for some drying....seemed to be GPS controlled and not sure he lifted the discs in U turns or not....just a sideline curiosity.

Next in comes a 3 section, road worthy planter of probably 24' expanded and on the side of the tractor were 2 very large poly tanks filled with liquid. Tractors were red "that's what granddaddy started with" was the reply, disc was blue and planter was green and top seemed to be pretty wide, like large seed capacity or maybe seed-fert combo....never saw any replenishment activity so I don't what was in the drill boxes. Doing it this time of the year leads me to assume wheat would be the crop as it, corn/milo, and cotton are the rotational crops here.

My curiosity is wondering what is in the liquid in the large poly tanks on either side of the tractor.....NPK or pre-emergent? Wheat top dressing/green bug spraying is usually the last weeks in January where the weather cooperates for getting on the field with the equipment.....course that is usually when the crop gets planted in September and has some growth going into freezing temperatures. Temps have been mild here with one light frost 1 Nov.
