Feed Your Crop
 Adequate phosphorus is essential for getting a crop off to a healthy, fast start. By placing starter fertilizer near the seed at planting, nutrients are present in the root zone and available to the seedling immediately after germination. Starter applications containing phosphorus can increase early season vigor and stress tolerance under adverse weather conditions. Read more
Sidedressing nitrogen can be both a cost-effective and more efficient way of managing nitrogen.

Taking The Bite Out of Horn Fly Losses With Mineral Additives
One of the things beef producers dread most about the coming warm weather is the advent of troublesome horn flies.
These insects are annoying, to be sure. But, they are more than just pests, they are really "obligate parasites," who must stay with -and live off of- their host in order to survive. They feed on cattle by cutting through the skin and sucking blood. This is not only painful and distressing for the animal, but also has a direct impact on body condition, and consequently, on the producer's bottom line. Read more
