SEEDBED PREPARATION Every farming operation has different and diverse tillage needs. Great Plains offers a complete line of products to meet those needs whether it is conventional tillage, vertical tillage, or some combination of both. You can depend on Great Plains to deliver a quality product that is field proven and has the reputation of being at the top of its class. NUTRIENT APPLICATION For maximum plant benefit, precise placement of High Value Nutrients is a must. By applying nutrients at the right time, you can virtually eliminate leaching and denitrification. The Great Plains Nutri-Pro and Sprayer lines are the perfect solution to help you increase utilization while reducing costs. SEED PLACEMENT To maximize yield, three things must be done well: seed spacing, seed depth, and seed-to-soil contact without sidewall compaction. Great Plains Drills and Planters are designed and built using these principles. Again, no matter what your farming practices, we have the right seeding configuration to achieve a uniform stand in a variety of crops. We are the seed placement specialists!

Timing is only Half the Story All applied N fertilizer sources eventually convert completely to the nitrate-n forms. It is in this form that it is taken up by the plant. It is also in this form that nitrate-n is at risk of leaching and denitrification. Application timing, temperature, and the amounts of rainfall influence the rates of both leaching and denitrification. One strategy to manage the risk of nitrate-n loss is to make fertilizer applications in the spring just prior to planting (preplant), or side-dress N fertilizer after planting. The main reason that pre-plant and side-dress N applications will be more efficient is that there is a shorter window between application and plant needs. The shorter time period means there are fewer opportunities for heavy rainfall events and nitrate-n loss.

Fertilizer that was applied in the fall at an angle to the spring-planted crop feeds the crop inconsistently and also fertilizes weeds that sprout between rows. Precision placement feeds each corn or soybean plant the same and also helps keep the nutrients from being stolen by weeds. Precision placement by Nutri-Pro Angled application
The Rest of the Story The Science Behind Nutri-Pro 4 5 Nutri-Pro Precision models offer a new approach to fertilizing challenges and is once again Setting the Pace Through Innovation. A totally new approach to fertilizer application is the 3-coulter option with a row cleaner. This option allows the producer to preapply liquid fertilizer (starter, high-rate, or both) prior to planting, do vertical tillage in the row, and clear the residue with a row cleaner. The result...precision-placed fertilizer in a clean, warm, fast-emerging seedbed for the planter to precisely plant the seed.

Nutri-Pro NP2330LL Liquid Precision Application Nutri-Pro Precision is semi-mounted with lift assist and can be configured with or without the two 300-gallon poly tanks. It is designed for precision placement of high-value nutrients. It lets farmers apply either high-rate fertilizer next to the row and/or starter fertilizer under the row as its exclusive Turbo Coulters till and clean a wide strip, creating a warm, clean seedbed your planter will love. Nutri-Pro Precision also features hydraulic weight transfer to apply center weight to the wings for consistent depth across the entire machine width. 16-Row Pre-Apply 17-Row Side-Dress By adding an odd row, shifting the tractor over 15", and pivoting the rear caster assemblies, a 12- or 16-row 3-coulter, pre-apply unit can easily be converted to a 13- or 17-row side-dress bar.
