Agricultural contractor Lee Gilbert offers customers an umbilical system that allows them to select among three applicators, which include a Joskin trailing shoe, a Veenhuis disc injector and a Tramspread splash-plate. His system also utilizes a flow-meter and a mapping software to produce a coloured map showing the different slurry application rates used across the field.
