PROFESSIONAL
CONSULTATION
FOR
PROGRESSIVE
FARMERS
1. Is pH a false indicator of the calchim/mainesium balance in your soils?
2. is sulphur holding back the yield and protein content of your crops?
3. Do you need all that phosphorous you're paying for?
If your present soil tests don’t answer these questions, you need our
technical help. Our soil tests and analysis will help you balance soil fertility,
which increases yields and profits.
WE SELL NO PRODUCTS ... ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS
We specialize in soil fertility, tillage and livestock nutrition. Our recom
mendations will help you make more rational business decisions.
Winter is the time to call one of our consultants;
