Higher Crop Yields at Lower Costs: BBI Introduces Better Fertilizer Spreader For Farmers and Commercial Applicators

• 

According to the law of fertilizer minimums, the yield of a crop is only as good as the weakest element in the application

Gainesville, GA (PRWEB) September 26, 2006

Barron and Brothers International (BBI), a manufacturer that delivers simple solutions to complex agricultural problems, announced today a better way to precisely deliver the right chemicals to a field. With the TRIAD spreader, new from BBI, farmers and commercial applicators no longer need to make multiple trips with a single-bin spreader or use costly air machines. The TRIAD from BBI is the first high-capacity, three-material fertilizer application system capable of conveying and broadcasting three different granular materials at three varying rates while in motion. This makes true one-pass variable rate application possible.

"We designed the TRIAD to meet farmers' needs for rapid, precise, cost-effective application of precision fertilizer," says Lee Kilpatrick, Director of Marketing for BBI. "We have a record for innovation, and we're a dedicated company in the heart of Georgia's farmland. We know what farmers need because we work with them every day---and they helped us design the TRIAD."

With a TRIAD Spreader utilizing variable rate control and GPS guidance, a farmer can make sure every grid on the field will get the exact chemical application it needs, and that the exacting specifications laid out by an agronomist are met. The TRIAD has the ability to greatly reduce overall costs and streamline farm operations when compared to competitive products, allowing farmers to move on to other important tasks.

Comparative Financials for Commercial Applicators and Farmers

The TRIAD is superior to the next best competing technology, the air machine, in a variety of ways that are important to both commercial applicators and farmers. For example:

• Initial Cost: TRIAD is 50% cheaper than the air machine.
• Annual Maintenance: TRIAD is 1/10th the annual maintenance of an air machine.
• Equipment life: TRIAD lasts up to 3 times longer than an air machine.
• Spread swath: TRIAD covers 1/3 more ground than an air machine.
• Average operating speed: TRIAD can cover ground twice as fast as an air machine with no loss in spread quality.

Rave Reviews from Bin Spreader Users

The TRIAD is currently being favorably compared against an air machine in the fertilizer application of several farms. Jamie Perry, an Agronomist with the Mid-South Farmers Cooperative, is starting to see the difference the TRIAD makes stating, "According to the law of fertilizer minimums, the yield of a crop is only as good as the weakest element in the application," said Perry. "Think of the staves in a barrel full of water. The shortest stave in the barrel prevents the barrel from holding any more water, as it will just run out of the short stave. Now translate this idea to a fertilizer application. Any element that is lacking in a fertilizer application is like a short stave, preventing the crop yield from increasing any further. With the TRIAD's three-bin design, we're hitting even the minor element in the first pass, thus lengthening the short stave. And that means a higher crop yield overall."

Jamie Perry feels that the TRIAD boosts crop performance in many other areas as well. "With the TRIAD, I've been able to make one pass where I would have had to make two with the air machine. That means less compaction on the soil, which is better for the crop. And let's not forget that time is money on a farm. The TRIAD delivers a real savings in time spent on the field. That's time you can use for the next field, which translates into productivity you can take to the bank."
