“ARA is pleased to hear the announcement from the Biden Administration firmly establishing a role for agriculture in the future of sustainable fuels. Updates to the GREET model and the inclusion of agricultural crops and practices in the equation to qualify for 40(b) tax credits in 2023 and 2024 opens an important door for America’s farmers.

"As the Administration works to develop criteria for the 45(z) credits that will start in 2025, we look forward to more crops and more practices being included in the mix. Agriculture has much to offer, and we’re pleased to see those attributes recognized.

Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders


This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
