Agriculture/Farm & Ranch
Treated wheel track areas repel water and require no maintenance during the season.
L&Q has identified several product applications that will help the farmer reduce his production risks, eliminate nuisance areas, and reduce maintenance costs. These spot-fixes are generally inexpensive and can deliver tremendous benefits.
1. Repair washed-out road areas that delay or prevent access to fields and damage your equipment. Use a disk and tiller to loosen the soil at the problem area. Drain and apply TerraZyme to dry the soil. Allow 24 hours to dry out. Compact as is for short-term or mix ROAD-HARD into the soil for a more permanent solution. A small gas engine tiller works well for spot repairs. A 4" application depth should support most traffic for several seasons. Once set, the soil will stay hardened and water resistant until it bio-degrades.
2. Prevent pivot-irrigation wheels from being stuck in the mud. Use ROAD-HARD to treat your pivots' wheel tracks in low-lying areas of a field. ROAD-HARD penetrates the tracks' soil with a water-resistant, biodegradable polymer that is easy to apply. Treatment prevents rutting and stops soil from being pushed away from the wheel. Once the crop is harvested, there is no need to disc around treated areas....just disk right through it. Next planting season, simply reapply ROAD-HARD with a small drop-spreader in the same low-lying track areas. Wet these track areas with our additive to activate the polymer, compact, and allow to dry. Compare ROAD-HARD's ease of application and low cost with other pivot wheel solutions like mechanical boots. You will save time and money.
3. Treat access roads and areas around your center irrigation pivot with ROAD-HARD. This includes water wells, pumps, generators, electric junction boxes, and fuel tanks Areas around the control units of irrigation equipment tend to stay muddy throughout the growing season and into the winter. Dealing with electrical or mechanical problems in mud is frustrating and time consuming. Working on firm dry ground is faster, cleaner, and safer.

4. Use ROAD-HARD Dust Control around livestock pens and to prevent dust from covering your high value crops. Livestock can suffer from dust induced respiratory problems. Feeding areas are filled with fecal mater and dust carries harmful bacteria into your livestock's lungs.
5. Higher yields - A dust coating also limits sun and fertilizers from reaching the plant. This makes for weaker plants and lower yields.
Treating heavily trafficked dirt or gravel roads with a 1/4+" deep application of ROAD-HARD Dust Control will ensure that dust is kept to a minimum. It also greatly assists in meeting the EPA's PM 10 Clean Air standards.
