Barrier Application Methods and Materials

There are many ways to apply barriers using different materials.

• You can use straw or fescue hay to spread a thin and even layer.
• You use mulch in thick mounds or even coverage.
• You can use material like cornstalks to create thick or thin areas.

Industries to Use Barriers

• Livestock bedding, bunk feeding, or creating windrows
• Mulching in landscaping, vineyards, and berry fields
• Ground coverage for erosion and dust control for roadside management, construction, and oil wells.

Equipment to Apply:

People have been applying barriers by hand for centuries.  This is very time consuming and hard on us as people.  The next step up was to use a small machine that tears apart and shoots material.  These are sometimes attached to a hose for blowing material.  The next machine took a leap.  They are pulled with a tractor, and are very large and powerful.  This is nice when you have lots of space and need to cover a large area.  These are also on the pricey side.  So we came up with our own option.  Top-Spread bale processor attaches to a skid steer and is small enough to fit in barn alleys, but powerful enough to cover road ditches.

We invite you to connect with us on Social Media to discuss barrier methods or to share a story about your experiences.  We'd love to chat!
