During the rush of the season, it’s easy to put safety on the back burner as you race against the weather to get manure applied. However, we’ve all heard of the tragedies that occur during manure application. All it takes is one mishap and that heart-breaking farm accident could be yours. We can’t stress enough how important it is to make safety a priority; here are some ways you can manage risks during manure application.
One of the most common questions we get asked near application season is ‘how do I maximize my manure’s value?’ Since stabilizing nitrogen is the biggest industry challenge, regardless of fertilizer type, our go-to recommendation is Corteva’s Instinct Nitrogen Stabilizer.

Cream of the crop, state of the art, best of the best: you get the gist. However you want to say it, Titan 2 possesses all the power of the original Titan Manure Injection Toolbar, and then some. The Titan Series was the first-of-its-kind, front-folding manure injection toolbar upon its initial release in 2015. With its ability to make full turns in the ground and the immaculate, seemingly undisturbed condition it leaves the field in when the job is done, Titan has earned a best-in-class status and has never looked back. The self-proclaimed, “Titan turn” is a promise Bazooka Farmstar has built on with the release of Titan 2.
True to Bazooka’s relentless commitment to improvement and innovation, their newest hose reel line is built to change the game in pumper efficiency and transportation ease.
Making customers’ lives easier, jobs safer, and their operations more efficient is what drives us every day.
