CENTRAL ILLINOIS AG LEADERS REMIND OF ANHYDROUS AMMONIA DANGERS –

Agriculture leaders want to remind farmers about the dangers of anhydrous ammonia. “Anhydrous ammonia is a compressed liquid gas with a nitrogen source. A liquid fertilizer we’ll call it,” said Ag-Land FS Operations Manager Eric Long. “You want to take precautions. Number one you want to have the proper protective equipment. Gloves, goggles is minimum,” said Long. Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association will hold classes for farmers to learn how to properly handle anhydrous ammonia. (Central Illinois Proud)
