MagnaSpread Ultra Working in the Fields of North Dakota
/Post by Spreader Specialties.
For a little Friday fun, We invite you to take a look at this video shot by Mike Olson, owner of Spreader Specialties, an exclusive dealer of BBI Spreaders based in Austin, Minnesota. Mike and the fine folks at Spreader Specialties serve the farming community of the Northern Plains region of Minnesota, northern Iowa, and the Dakotas.
Spreader Specialties is the first dealer to sell the new MagnaSpread Ultra, and this video, shot on a 10,000-plus-acre farm in North Dakota using Olson's GoPro HD camera, shows the delicate touch of this powerful piece of big iron. The Ultra spreads urea at a rate of 200 pounds per acre, consistently achieving 80-foot swaths at 15 miles per hour!

A strong start is vital for the successful growth of any crop, including winter wheat. While many wheat growers focus on preparing the seedbed and ensuring optimal seed placement, there is one important element that may be overlooked in some winter wheat programs: starter phosphorus.
