The scale of these farms never fails to astonish me, even as someone with a degree in agronomy. I have about 45 acres of fairways, 2 acres of greens and 60 acres of rough at my golf course. A little larger than that one field. It takes me a solid 4 hours to spray just the 45 acres of fairways using an 18 foot boom. Doing 90 acres in an hour is awesome. Doing all 18 greens also takes about 4 hours but it's a much more precise application running considerably more water per acre. Even though it looks pretty, I haven't found a turf that actually enjoys being cut at .125" so we verg careful.
Brings back memories of Dad's Hagie and foliar feeding corn like that. Of course he only had a 50 ft boom, no cab, and 2400cc engine. They didn't make em like they do today. Great video Mike.
This is such a tough year for our farmers. The plains farms are in a drought, NE & Florida farms are getting too much rain. Here in PA, we’ve been seeing a lot more insects (haven’t seen cicadas yet) too.Welker’s planted the whole farm for the first time, 1st came the drought, then a hale storm destroyed a lot of acres. So incredibly sad. I was so excited to see how USMCA & 🇨🇳 trade deals benefitted our farms. Inflation has gone up 5% already this year, I’m sure crop shortages won’t help. Will the farmers bring in higher profits from the higher prices? Or will the raise in fuel prices counteract the higher sale price?
Must be because I uploaded this video Sunday night and scheduled it for RUclips for 2PM Monday. Right before 2PM I was on Instagram and seen MN Millenial Farmer just uploaded a Hagie Video. I don't know the other one you mentioned though.
Once upon a time, When everybody was buying JD 700 and the JD 734 hi- boy sprayers, there was also a Hagie and a Helveti hi- boy. Also there was a Hahn sprayer powered by a Wisconsin version air cooled V4 engined. That was the 1060s market for self propelled sprayers! Looks like Hagie is the survivor of that race!! Time was it was 2-4-D and a late season sprayer that made America great😎‼️ Now, (wishful thinking’’ if there was only an effective insecticide for Marxist Democrats and RINO “Republicans” occupying the “deep state”, we wouldn’t be in the state we’re in todaylp‼️ But I digress………
Great drone work, I caught the opening intro as a 120 ' boom, because of the fold over the most it could be is 100 ft. Operators that spray tall Corn need to be on there A game.
Is it ok to thumbs up while still watching the intro? Good stuff Mike. From another Mike farming in Ontario Canada
I always do that, so I don’t forget!

Thanks for this video Mike. Not being a farmer myself, I learned a lot about spraying fungicide on standing corn.
Great video and great information about the operation and productivity of the equipment!!! Thanks for sharing Mike!
Great seeing you Mike. If you ever need a ride, let me know

Hey, that field looks really good. Good, even stand. Thanks Mike - I love the shots from above.
I agree with the one guy the ground units do better coverage.
Lol......I hit the like 👍 button every time before I watch any of Mike's videos so I don't forget. Another awesome one Mike!!
Awesome machine!
Cool video. Hoagie sprayer are awesome
Very cool video Mike.
Great Mike Less Video, thanks for sharing

That is one big sprayer👍😁 nice video mike😉👍
Great awesome video mike. Nice sprayer , zach has 120 he’s trying out I see.
It looks like rain is not equally shifted there in the States this summer.
Never heard of hegi, unless Cole the Cornstar channel. What is the ride quality like
Are you pulling a Mike Mitchell?
The thicker the crop, in general the more disease it will get and therefore the more the crop will benefit from fungicide.
Great vid👍LOL 3 Hagie in one, I wonder are you, Millennial farmer n iwoANFarmer are mind readers?

Who owns Hagie?
John Deere
The importance of size...
I been farming for 60 years and never put it on when you can get a average of 230 bu. . The cost and running over corn does not pay
Fuhng•gus - fungus.
Fuhn•juh•side - fungicide
So it’s guh in one and juh in the other…
There"s no way I would ever use a front boom sprayer, for health reasons.
No different than any other sprayer. It's either going under the cab or is getting applied behind the cab like in this video
