Many things can not be applied through chemigation.... in fact more than 90% of the spraying I did last season (in CO by the way) was over pivots.
There are nay sayers in all walks, but as the man says..."people gotta eat"
Take a close look:
In this pic (a CO pivot) you can see a tank (chemigation) and we are spraying 8)
Another shot...in this pic you can get a feel for how much the sand hills roll in NE CO...there IS a 401 in that dip
There are a few more in my gallery with pivots in the back/foreground along with a sprayplane...
Take care, Rob
