Exercise good judgment when using public roadways. Each year there are over 275 motor vehicle collisions with farm equipment of public roads. Have your warning flashers working and have your slow moving vehicle emblems properly displayed. Use caution when your equipment is in a blind spot on the road. Remember that schools are in session during planting time.
Anhydrous ammonia is one of the most widely used sources of nitrogen.
The hazards of using anhydrous ammonia are that it is stored and handled under high pressure that requires well-maintained equipment. You should keep anhydrous equipment in good condition. Even if you do not own the nurse tank or applicator inspect them for defects. Daily inspect hoses for cuts, soft spots, bulges, kinking, flattening or slipping at the coupling. Check the tires on the tank for inflation, cuts, weathering, wear and loose lug nuts.
