In reply to Herbie Hensel. The cost per acre depends on LP prices, and weed pressure. I believe our average is between $15-25/acre.

In reply to Wes Koops. Thank you! Where are you located? We had a guy in Southeast Minnesota make ours. We have since built a bigger one, and I hope to have some GoPro video of that one in action this summer.

Very nicely done. Can you direct me to a company that makes this flame equipment? We are just getting started in the organic arena with 100 acres.

In reply to Mike Hill.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Mike.

Dennis Luettke, an organic dairy farmer near Wells, MN manufactured our flame weeder. We bought an old anhydrous bar, and brought it down to Dennis for the burner kits and set up. We are in the process of converting a used sprayer into a flame weeder, mostly because of the frame style and wheel placement. We use 22″ rows on our corn and beans.

If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot me an email at cofairviewfarm@gmail.com

I am in the process of converting 220 acres of corn/beans to organic in southern MN (Waseca County). Can you tell me who manufactured your flame cultivator and the spacing of your rows?
Thank you,
Mike Hill
