A new technology that is used to help farmers with the application of seeds, fertilizer and chemicals is an "On-the-go sensorsExpect." These devices can be mounted on a vehicle, tractor, or 4-H wheeler. This technology will test the soil pH level every few feet and change the rate of the lime application as the spreader passes over the field. Another aspect that is included on this equipment a nitrogen censoring test, to help increase or decrease the fertilizer levels. This technology is not overly expense and there are some similar equipment that only test one or the other, not both!
