@@karljacobson1575 It might be "stupidly expensive" as a system of systems, but when you consider how much Welker Farms spends on weed control chemicals, anything that allows them to operate more efficiently regarding treatment application should be applauded, not denigrated. Welker Farms is a business, so the better they utilize their resources, the better their profit margin, which in turn allows them to spend more on their operation in order to gain even greater efficiency and profitability. Plus, it's really cool that the system plays the Imperial March during Big Brute's calibration... Tell me I'm wrong... 😆

I pray all the "organic" " green" weenies pay attention to the HUGE investment farmers and the manufacturers they depend on to make our make food production efficient, environmentally friendly and safe. Chem Fallow is a critical component of modern farming that keeps viable land ready for planting when conditions align. At a mere fraction of your acreage spot spraying yields huge results with a huge reduction in product. Well done, and glad to see a century plus old farm staying current!

Big Brute is just getting better and better... And who cares what it looks like. If it works, and it's practical, I say run it. If it breaks down the road, the brackets, then maybe change it, if you guys feel like it. Just because someone doesn't like the look of it, doesn't mean jack. Practial over looks all day. And Thanks for the videos. I try to watch them all when I can. Keep up the good, hard work.

My compliments to all of you for your hard work on the booms and spray systems you installed. Beautiful system Nick. Big brute is enjoying all this new spraying equipment. Technology for this is amazing. Wow. Many thanks Nick for showing us the upgrades to big brute and the raven spray systems. Will be great to see it in action. Amazing how it can spray a weed when it sees it. Thanks again nick for your time. I understand the drought is really causing problems again. I believe this is your third year in a row of not enough moisture. I feel bad for you folks. This has got to turn around. I am sending sincere prayers and blessings to the Welker family for RAIN!!!!!!!! May god grant you the moisture for your crops!!!!!! You all take care and be safe.

Watch out for power lines when you wing out your boom. We had a guy doing it this way and he hit the wires and created some fireworks. Eventually the the sprayer tires caught fire and he tried to unhook the sprayer, well that's where they found him, that happened about six or seven years ago. I am pretty sure you just demoed it for the video and normally keep it lower to the ground.

Now that you are spraying products to handle resistant weeds (kochia) you should show us the weedit coverage maps yearly. Would be interesting to see the reduction in the seed bank.
