Mather, Manitoba | Mid row fertilizer equipment are supposed to be set 1" to 2" lower than the seed openers to allow for proper sealing up of dirt and prevent denitrifying. A mid row shank going that deep brings up alot of dirt and in a drier year brings up alot more clumps of dirt. Wetter years, they gum up worse. The coulter style of mid row banders leave a way smoother field. Neighbors have been using the mid row shank for 3 years now and it is no comparison to the other neighbor that uses the coulters. We bought a coulter system for our drill for this year.
Depends on how and where your fert supplier is setup: I'd use that criteria to determine which way to go.
