Chemical Hay Conditioner
When sprayed on alfalfa hay during cutting, the RAPID CURE mixture
penetrates the waxy cutin layer on the stems, increasing the rate of
water evaporation from the hay.
RAPID CURE:
1. Reduces chance of rain damage
2. Improves the quality of hay
3. Gets hay off faster and allows more days for
new hay crop to grow.
RAPID CURE Doesn’t Cost...lt Pays!!!
Both university and farm tests have proven RAPID CURE Chemical
Hay Conditioner pays for itself. RAPID CURE will cost about $6.00 to
$6.50 per acre. Applied as directed, RAPID CURE will increase hay
yield by 120 to 130 lbs. per acre. This increased yield pays the cost of
RAPID CURE.
ABC GROFF, INC. has a quality line of RAPID CURE'applicators to
fit your needs..
