CREATING NEW POSSIBILITIES
PROVIDING THAT "MILLION DOLLAR RAIN" ANY DAY OF THE GROWING SEASON
You know the impact a timely rain shower can have on your crop. You watch the forecast, the radar and the skies to the west with your fingers crossed. A half inch of rain on the right day can add 10 to 30 bushels or added tons. Repeated timely rains over the growing season can add 50 or more bushels per acre in corn.
360 RAIN can provide the moisture your crop needs to thrive. And at the same time, it can efficiently deliver nutrients directly to the root zone. And that includes manure.
For the first time, dairy and hog producers can empty lagoons and pits in season, using 360 RAIN to deliver manure to the growing crop. That eliminates fall spreading costs and puts the manure to work in season boosting silage and forage tonnage.
360 RAIN gives producers control - control over moisture; control over application costs and manure management plans.
HOW IT WORKS
360 RAIN is an autonomous, diesel powered/electric drive machine that connects to a water source through a 3" hose providing up to 0.5" of water per pass. It can cover 200 acres with up to 3,000 feet of hose.
360 RAIN is operated through cellular and dedicated RTK networks. Moving through your field following paths created by your planter pass, it provides complete coverage of irregularly shaped fields --- anywhere the planter goes, 360 RAIN can follow.
The vertical hose reel uses advanced sensor systems to lay hose as it moves along a backbone path away from the well or hydrant and then picks up the hose as it moves back towards the water source. A manifold on the machine distributes the water and nutrients along the boom to drops that lay the water/nutrients in a 15" band, directly over the root zone. Banding water over the root zone eliminates evaporation common in pivot irrigation systems.
While not eliminating the need for screening, a manure manifold uses an impeller to reduce plugging risks from solids, bedding and foreign objects.
