Spoon-feeding and watering higher-value crops like organic corn offers significant advantages, particularly when managing nutrients and water with precision. By delivering small, frequent amounts of water and nutrients directly to your crop throughout its growing season, you can ensure the plants receive what they need exactly when they need it. This reduces waste and increases the efficiency of inputs, leading to healthier plants and higher yields. In premium crops where margins are higher and quality is paramount, that’s a huge win.

Organic crop systems rely on natural fertilizers, like manure, which can be difficult to manage effectively in large applications. Spoon-feeding allows nutrients to be delivered incrementally, avoiding nutrient runoff and maximizing plant uptake. This is particularly beneficial for organic corn, which often requires meticulous care to meet market standards for quality and sustainability.

360 RAIN has currently been used on a wide variety of specialty crops including seed corn, organic corn, small grains, potatoes, mate tea, sorghum, and onions.

It’s easy to match the drop style to your application. 360 RAIN offers multiple applicator options including a 360 Y-DROP style banding drop and a flat-fan style drop. The banding drop applies liquid in a 15" band at the base of the row crops. The flat-fan style drop is ideal for an evenly distributed application on solid seeded and hay crops. Drops are sized to allow manure solids to flow consistently to the crop without plugging. As 360 RAIN is being used on new crops each season, additional drops may be designed in the future.
