PROGRESSIVE
FARMERS
WANT
PROFESSIONAL
CONSULTATION
1. Is pH a false indicator of calcium levels in your soils?
2. Is sulphur holding back the yield, protein content and digestibility of your crops?
3. Is excessive magnesium what makes your land so wet and late?
If your present soil tests don’t answer these questions, you will prqfit 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,- less bought feed and fertilizer - more yield and profit.
WE SELL NO PRODUCTS - ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS
There isa reason 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. Now is the time to talk it over with:
