First things first. I don't know where you live , so I don't know what laws you are subject to, for pesticide regulation, so I won't preach from a podium if ignorance. Follow local laws, and the label of the pesticide, and you won't get in trouble, as long as it is your own land you are treating. That brings on the next subject. Granulars work better in some situations, worse in others. You have to compare price per acre, and cost of the application equipment. A small baltic type cone fertilizer spreader puts out granular product very well, at low cost, if you have a tractor to hook it to.

Google how to calibrate a sprayer if you want to spray, or how to calibrate a spreader, if you go that route. Basic principle is the same, do a small area, measure the area, and the amount applied, and set up a ratio, to see what you are applying on a per acre basis. Many's the time I have come across bargain herbicides on both granular and liquid products. DO THE MATH!

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
