Hursh Consulting and Communications Inc. Kevin Hursh on Agriculture: Hursh Comment. The sprayer booms were being folded up for the last time after another fungicide application on the chickpeas. It did not go well. The left boom tip did its normal high aerial arc, but lodged on the top of the frame before sliding into place.

While some official yield determinations at benchmark locations may be a useful addition to production forecasts, a bigger part of the...

Hursh Consulting and Communications Inc. Kevin Hursh on Agriculture: Hursh Comment. Advice worth the price of a tractor. It might have been the end of the line for the old tractor. Instead, with advice from near and far and a single flat washer, the tractor has a shot at another seeding season. Another tractor was used to fold the wings and we pulled the drill home to ponder the problem. I posed the question on Twitter and suggestions came pouring back.
