Chemical monitoring
TeeJet has introduced electronic chemical monitoring technology compatible with popular global positioning systems hardware and software.
TeeJet controls are designed to measure the application rate and the pressure at the spray tip.
Available as a pressure or flow-based system, the TeeJet 844 is designed to be simple to operate. A color-coded control panel allows spray tip selection and a large, single readout screen constantly displays application rate, pressure, speed, area covered and total volume applied.
The TeeJet 855 is a more sophisticated unit. Both systems feature an optional printer for record keeping and a special boost mode that allows adjustments of applications while in use.

Explosives manual
Using explosives can be a dangerous but sometimes necessary job around the farm or ranch.
A wealth of information on how to use explosives safely is available in a recently published manual by Ken House. Now retired, House was a member of the Society of Explosives Engineers and was internationally accredited.
The manual has 222 pages and 157 illustrations. It teaches the basics of explosives and can also upgrade the skills of those already in the field.
