Kovar made triangle-shaped boxes out of 26-ga. steel and mounted them over each row nozzle. The top of each shield is 6 in. across and flares out to 12 in. at the bottom, enough to let the spray pat-tern fan out across the entire row.
"Now I can plant on any day whether the wind is blowing or not," says Kovar.
