Unverferth\u2019s Air Command Section Control technology was selected as one of approximately 50 award recipients by an expert panel of engineers for its ability to enhance application accuracy and help producers maximize efficiency and input savings during fertilizer application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAir Command was engineered with real-world field challenges in mind, giving operators greater control and accuracy with every pass across the field and noticeable savings on fertilizer costs,\u201d said Larry Unverferth, president of Unverferth Manufacturing Co., Inc. \u201cBeing recognized with an AE50 Award reinforces Unverferth\u2019s commitment to practical innovation directly benefiting today\u2019s farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Air Command Section Control enables operators to automatically manage four independent spreader sections, helping maintain accurate application control in irregular fields and around waterways, ditches and field boundaries by following a programmed coverage map. Using pneumatic redirection, Air Command provides greater control over material flow and delivers true independent section shut-off without the added cost and complexity of extra conveyor belts or movable spinner platforms. By improving placement accuracy and limiting overapplication, the system helps maximize efficiency and minimize fertilizer waste without sacrificing crop performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unverferth will be formally recognized during ASABE\u2019s annual Agricultural Equipment Technology Conference Feb. 8\u201311 in Louisville, Kentucky, where honorees from around the world will be acknowledged for advancing the future of agricultural engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submitted information KALIDA &#8212; Unverferth Manufacturing Company, Inc. is excited to announce its Air Command Section Control System, designed for Unverferth Pro-Force dry fertilizer spreaders, has received the prestigious AE50 Award from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE).
