on your Success
That’s what you get with a complete Nutrena Program.
Nutrition that works and service and support that gets
results. Pinta Lane Farm, operated by Tim and Phyllis
Barlow of Cochranville, PA have seen the benefits of this
with the Nutrena Focus Program.
"The Focus program is flexible and allows adjustments to
my needs. The program affords me the best possible value
on commodities and yet is very convenient. My Nutrena
nutritionist is concerned with my costs and bottom line and I
get a quality product. It is a thorough program that has
addressed all phases of production resulting in improved
dry cow management and improved peaks. The Nutrena
program works well with my efforts to improve forage
quality and makes the most of my on-farm resources ”
