YOU NEED
MORE
THAN
FERTILIZER..
Soil "fertility balance” is becoming more important
to local farmers every day. Your fertilizer must be
tailored to meet the needs of your soil and cropping
program in order to return maximum profits per acre,
improper fertilization can actually lower your yields
and profits.
• ORGANIC PLANT FOOD CO. has the
Agronomic Service you need to complete your
program. We have one full time staff agronomist, one
consulting agronomist - PhD, and well trained field
men. We also have the plant flexibility to give you what
you need.
