Boom Sprayer Calibration
This calculator determines gallons per acre applied by boom sprayer. These sprayers are suitable for pre-plant, pre-emergence or post-emergence applications in cropland, pastures and rangeland.
Boomless Sprayer Calibration
4 ratings: 
This calculator determines the gallons per acre applied by a broadcast sprayer equipped boomless or brush type nozzles.
Carrying Capacity
5 ratings: 
This calculator will allow you to estimate the proper carrying capacity for a desired period of grazing.
Dry Fertilizer
8 ratings: 
This calculator is for use with soil test results that will allow you to compare prices and furnish spread rates. Enter the price of fertilizer in your area, your acreage and N-P-K needed (from your soil test recommendation).
Fertigation Injection Schedule
This interactive schedule enables a grower to determine the amount of a soluble fertilizer to apply to a selected vegetable crop via the drip irrigation system for any total length of bed (row) at any given week of the growing season.
Grazing Cycle
This calculator will allow you to estimate the number of days to graze a pasture for a desired grazing cycle. It is simply a measure of forage supply relative to the entire grazing unit. To be used if you are attempting to estimate the grazing period of a known grazing cycle.
Hay Days Available
This calculator allows cooperators to inventory hay supplies on hand and predict the number of days available for either limit feeding or full feeding hay. The cooperator can also use this to back calculate hay demand.
Hay Hauling Calculator
The hay hauling calculator allows you to estimate the total cost of purchasing and transporting hay. Users have the flexibility to calculate total cost per bale or total cost per ton. Users can also specify the number of bales able to be hauled per load.
Hay Ring Waste Calculator
This calculator will allow you to determine the amount of hay that is wasted cattle from various hay ring feeder types on a per bale, monthly and annual basis. Additionally, by including the cost of a bale of hay and how many bales are typically fed in a month, the calculator will determine the total cost of the wasted hay to evaluate if the purchase of a more efficient feeder is plausible.
Lime Calculator
3 ratings: 
This calculator figures the amount of lime needed based on soil test report values.
Orchard Sprayer Calibration
This calculator determines the gallons per acre applied by an air blast or fan sprayer.
Planter Calibration Calculator
This tool calculates the approximate number of seeds per acre and number of pounds per acre that a planter is set to deliver.
Reserve Herd Days
This calculator will allow you to estimate the days available for grazing in a pasture.
Value of Weathered Hay Calculator
This calculator enables the producer to determine the actual value of hay in a round bale after taking into account the depth of weathered hay that is low quality and inedible. An additional use of this tool is to determine the additional amount of hay that is required by the cow herd to meet intake requirements, accounting for weathered hay.
