One of the demonstrations
will be the application of feedlot manure below the soil surface using a manure
subsurfacer developed for poultry litter from the USDA-ARS in Arkansas.
It will also include antique
spreader demonstrations, which will give attendees perspective on how far the
industry has progressed with technology.
Those attending will be
able to compare 15 solid spreaders, 13 liquid equipment (towed hose
applicators, liquid tankers and sprinkler systems) and six GPS enabled
equipment demonstrations.
The expo is open from 7
a.m. – 6 p.m. There is no cost to attend.
