PROFESSIONAL
CONSULTATION
1. Is pH a false indicator levels jo your spils?
2. Is sulphur hokCng back the yield, protein content and dicestUMßty ot your crops?
3. Is excessive magnesium what makesyour land so wet and late?
If your present soil tests, don’t answer these questions, you will profit by
our technical help. SOIL TESTS ARE DIFFERENT! Our complete soil
analysis will help you balance soil fertility, which means more efficient
cropping and feeding - feed and fertilizer - more yield and profit.
WE SELL NO PRODUCTS - ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS
There is areason why progressive farmers with sharp pencils hire us year
after year for soil analyses and recommendations. We save them dollars.
Balance makes crops to be proud of. Winter is the time to talk it over with:
