It Is Not Too Late To make the best use of plant nutrients, a farmer should keep them in balance thru testing, make proper and timely use of pesticides, use lime as a multipurpose cure all (well not quite). Lime is probably the most un derrated soil additive we have, it can come close to doing many of the things the slick-talking salesman claims for all of those so called miracle products. It provides nutrients, corrects soil acidity, enhances the ef fectiveness of pesticides, en courages plant root development and is pound for pound the least 21,000 If service is important to you, come to Maxi-Power a customer service oriented company.

The usual attitude is let us produce our product in the beat way we know how without records. If it were not for income taxes, most farmers would keep no records.

DeVon Woodland, president of National Farmers Organization, who attended ceremonies here marking completion of the project, said the flour will be sent by rail to Baltimore, Md., where it is destined to be loaded aboard a ship this coming Monday and sent on its way to Poland.

(50 kilos) of oyster shell per ton of feed will furnish your layers with the supplemental calcium needed for strong eggshells. One recent study compared oyster shell and limestone as large particle calcium supplements. Birds on oyster shell increased production, had fewer checked and cracked eggs, and reduced the amount of feed required per dozen eggs. Another recent study concluded that calcium from oyster shell, in any form, is more available than that of limestone for eggshell formation. And still more proof comes from chemical an alyses of blood plasma. Hens fed oyster shell show consistently higher levels of calcium during the critical period of eggshell formation when it's most needed. Oyster shell can make a big difference in your egg check.
