Before the field day ad
journed, Dr. Everett noted
some of the more significant
problems encountered in
earlier years and sum
marized their solutions. The
low fat testa, for example,
were overcome by adding
sodium bicarbonate and
magnesium oxide to the feed
ration. Fiber intake levels
were corrected by altering
roughage intake, mixing
brewers grains into the
sorghum allage and
changing some other feeds.

redesigning free stalls,
better maintenance of stalls,
and fewer concreted sur

determined.
Careful feeding and
cleanliness in and around
corrals have brought down
the number of retained
placenta cases.
Reproductive efficiency has
been improved through
cooler temperatures. Record
systems and beat detection
methods, as well as the
routine herd health
programs have been
upgraded.
And that’s the way it was,

With the SLF system, we can prescription mix a complete
liquid fertilizer that matches the needs of each individual field and
crop.
It’s the way we give
each field the exact
liquid fertilizer it needs.
It means you don’t have to settle for what’s available. Or what’s
possible. Because with SLF and Arcadian® liquid, the possibilities
are endless.
Allied Chemical designed SLF to deliver the same analysis
in every drop. In liquid application equipment that fertilizes
accurately and uniformly from start to finish over every acre.
It’s made with POLY-N®, the phosphate source that increases
the availability of nutrients to the crop. This helps explain why SLF
mixed liquid fertilizers have proven more profitable than dry bulk
blends in recent field trial comparisons.
Let us prescription mix a complete liquid fertilizer based on a
complete soil analysis, and show you how profitable fertilizing the
SLF way can be.
