WHAT'S NEW?
Bulk fertilizer system
Bulk systems are a modern
method for handling herbicide
which reduces a farmer's chance of
exposure to the product while pro-
viding time, labor and cost savings
over pails.
Farmers are also becoming more
concerned about safety when
handling agricultural chemicals.
All agricultural chemicals should
be handled carefully says Len
Hawkins, sales and marketing
manager for Stauffer -Canada,
makers of Sutan + . Stauffer has
taken another step by initiating the
bulk handling system. Growers
like the bulk system because their
exposure to the chemical is limited,
says Hawkins. All material is
metered through a hose from the
dealer's bulk tank into the
farmer's 600 litre tank. Then the
farmer meters the chemical
through the pump and hose into
his spray tank.
With the low corn prices growers
face right now, the cost saving of a
bulk herbicide program is the main
attraction of the system, says
Hawkins. Farmers with the bulk
system for Sutan + save 20 cents
per litre over purchasing 10 litre
pails. Stauffer also offers farmers
who are putting in a bulk system a
tank, pump and meter worth $350
with the purchase of 600 litres of
Sutan + .
Hawkins also stresses that the
metering system is more accurate
for measuring herbicide into the
sprayer and ends up saving a
farmer a substantial amount of
time and labor over opening
several cans each time.
