FŪSN
The J.R. Simplot Company collaborated with Honeywell to fuse
ammonium nitrate with ammonium sulfate to create FŪSN, an
ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer that is less detonable, more
efficient and socially responsible than other fertilizers.
FŪSN (26-0-0-14s) gives growers the ability to improve farm
productivity with a fertilizer that is easy to use and enables a strong
return with clear agronomic benefits. FŪSN is a dry, granular,
homogenous fertilizer that delivers nitrate, ammonium nitrogen
and sulfate sulfur to the plant. The fused sulfate-nitrate compound
also decrease volatilization of surface-applied nitrogen.

FertiLogix Fertilizer Spreaders
Loftness' FertiLogix line of products
includes two eight-ton fertilizer spreaders.
The FS800 standard spreader and
RC800 high-clearance row crop spreader
combine durability, superior spread
pattern and variable rate capabilities to
meet the growing demand for precision
application equipment.
The FS800 features a double-axle design
with an integral adjustable-height hitch
and 2½-inch-wide leaf springs, resulting
in level operation and improved ride
quality on uneven terrain. The RC800 is a
single-axle spreader with a 44-inch frame
clearance for in-season applications,
allowing operators to spoon-feed
nutrients as a crop needs them. The RC800
includes an infinitely variable tread width
from 80 to 120 inches to accommodate
virtually any row spacing. Both models
are equipped with dual stainless steel
spinners that deliver a consistent, 40- to
60-foot-wide spread pattern using a 100
percent overlapping triangular pattern.
