dleigh Farm, Major and Lou Bond
saved all the money they could in
hopes of someday purchasing
Jerseys and running their own
farm.
This dream came true in March,
1978 when, after borrowing enough
to purchase 60 Jersey cows,
milking equipment and minimal
farm equipment, they leased their
present farm, Cherub Jersey
Farm.
ARCADIAN liquid gives a
profitable boost to alfalfa
after every cutting.
Give alfalfa a liquid boost after the first cutting.
That's when topdressing N-P-K, and micronutrients
in an Arcadian® liquid fertilizer made with POLY-N*
pays big dividends in high yielding, high quality alfalfa.
You can even add insecticides if you need to.
When it’s done right, a topdressing after every
cutting will increase the yields. It will raise the protein
content. Help the crop compete better against
grasses. And improve the vigor for a long stand life.
Arcadian liquid makes it easy. Made the SLF - way.
Arcadian liquid gives you uniform distribution of
fertilizer ingredients from start to finish. It’s truly the
efficient way to turn alfalfa into green gold.
