- Applying Fungicide to a Corn Field in Kentucky with a Hagie Sprayer
In this video I am out in the field with a family farm as they are applying fungicide to their 2023 corn crop. They are using their Hagie sprayer that has 120 foot wide boom. One pass down the field is spraying 48 rows of corn. Fungicide application helps prevent diseases in mature corn and boost the yield. This can also be applied using an airplane (crop duster) helicopter and now there are drones with mounted sprayers.
This farm also had hay on the ground to bale while I was here but the weather did not cooperate while I was here but I was able to get a few shots as they tried to make hay. The moisture in the hay was a bit on the high side and they later ended up round baling the field after I left.
1.........the Hagie is an awesome sprayer.
This rig is definitely an acre-eating beast. Our custom applicator used a Hagie to dribble 28% N on corn at the pre-tassel stage. Got 1.5 inches of rain that evening...really gave the corn a boost.
Brings back memories of driving Dad's Hagie doing foliar feeding. Always did it in the evening. Had 50 ft boom on it. Start 5 or 6 o'clock spray till midnight or so or if there was a lot to spray I'd go until the dew settled. I foliar fed potatoes till 4 in the morning one time. Great aerial coverage!
Good video.
3:57 cool shot of the sectional control!
Neat video Mike. Yeah the crop dusters have been flying everywhere here in north central Indiana
Thanks for the sprayer vidio.
I don't get to see the sprayer at work because I'm on my way to get the tanker refilled for Jeff.
That looks so cool like it'd be a lot of fun a job worth having
Mike, I enjoy the sprayer videos, especially applying # 0ne to corn with drone. Also enjoy chopping videos, field work, planting, working ground and harvesting. Thank You. God Bless.
Very neat thing to see indeed Mike!! Thumbs up, liked, and shared already. Thanks for the video
1,Interesting sprayer...your right without the drone you would likely never see it.
That has to be more efficient and cost effective than AirTractor. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic coverage, a joy to watch. Happy subscriber 😊!
Next time you’re on the east coast come check out Delaware and eastern shore Maryland, lots of sizable farms, large equipment and variety of crops. Delaware has plenty of row crops as well as truck farming operations; sweet corn, green beans, Lima beans, watermelon, and during late spring you can catch the green pea harvests
Hello
Impressive sprayer👍👍 I'm for number '2'😉👍
Love your content mike, we say 2 in Canada in most places, you should try getting up here for harvest.I bet you'd get some great videos of some huge nice fields in Alberta!
One of these years I will.
Wow, that guy must not have had crop damage on! Amazing that corn does not get trampled by that sprayer.
1, I personally like seeing spraying video.
I like Mike less videos on RUclips from the imperial county California 👍🚜🚜😁
We say " 2 " in Australia.
I believe that the pronunciation is number 1.

It amazes me how little damage they do to the crop. Must be mesmerizing in the cab with all that corn coming at ya.
I was talking to a corn guy this past week here in Ontario.
He said they have found that fungicide in corn lays off 2 years out of 5.
The other 3 years it costs more than the yield, and lowered disease benefits.
I suppose it depends on the year, weather and humidity levels, maybe?
*pays off*
Exactly some years it may not be necessary as seems like every growing season is different.
Definitely 2.
2 is the right way
😎😎
I can see that in the tall corn the middle sektion of the boom is touching the top of the plants and the spraying nozzles have difficulties spraying it out to the sides. Does this have any effekt on the application? Otherwise great video. We see it also more and more that farmers here in europe apply fungicide. Greetings from Danmark
I've only known of it twice down here in Georgia to apply fungicide to corn once it tossles out
How affective do you think the spray application is when the top of the plant is smacking against the nozzles constantly in close to the sprayer? I would say it would not be a fine spray all over the leaves in that area?
Secondly, how much deadly spray would end up all over the machine with the booms on the front? I can only imagine how much fun that thing would’ve be to work on or service
Enjoy your vidios Mike!
How tall is the corn?
Does the Haggie damage the corn it drives over?
How many acres between tank refills?
Cool stuff!
we had the front boom NH and i pronounce it like you would fungus (fun-gus-ide)
# 2 🇨🇦
Cornstar Farms have 2 of these Hagie sprayers so I've watched Cole and DC many times. I think spraying is Cole's favorite job on the farm
I think people might have been skipping through, so they missed it...but I've heard it as 2.
I say "fun-ji-side" . Of course I say "gif" and not "jif". I have seen many Hagie's around spraying tall corn lately here in WI. We have had a few crop dusting aircraft & helicopters as well. I think the only other tall sprayer I've seen are the Miller. The John Deeres & CaseIH's just are not tall enough for this type of spraying.
2 although I tend to hear most farmers say 1 so I use sometimes I say or think 1
That boom might be high clearance but the body is not
Does that boom auto level with the terrain or does the operator do it manually?
In Australia its 2.
2 in Canada
They need to make sprayer's 3 foot taller.
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, Brits use 1 and Americans use 2.
I'm British but use 2 but then I have always was an awkward sod. Though at least most USA place names sound like how they are written
2 in Australia
I'm in the 2 camp. This is a lot safer way to apply fungicide. aerial application is just too dangerous
2 all the way. How do you say "fungus"? Sure sounds funny if you say fungus as a "1" lol😂
