Chad Meyer of Steier Ag Aviation
loads his plane with microencapsulate nitrogen at the Emmetsburg
Municipal Airport Tuesday morning. Area farmers, stymied in their
planting and fieldwork by the wet weather, have turned to pilots like
Chad to apply the dry nitrogen by air to get fertilizer on their crops
to replace nitrogen washed away by all the rains. While Chad was busy
spraying around Emmetsburg for the past couple of days, his brother Tony
has been flying for nearly two weeks in Missouri, applying fertilizer
by air for farmers also facing wet weather. Deadlines to finish the
planting season are rapidly approaching for area producers in the next
week to 10 days.
