CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
Quote
from Jaylene Mahleres, Farm Owner; Price, Utah
I
have a 250 acre Farm on which I grow hay and grain for my cattle operation.
Each year I spend about $1,500.00 on Phosphate to Fertilize, and $800.00
on chemicals to kill the weevil and aphids. Last year I was able to
apply AgriCultures in my irrigation water for about $600.00 to $900.00.
1 was skeptical about using Microbes for both a fertilizer and a pesticide;
however, it turned out to be the single most important decision ever
made for the productivity of my hay. I applied 30 gallons per acre in
two separate irrigations, and by the second cutting of hay my New Holland
114 Windrower simply could not handle the extra foot of growth that
my hay was experiencing. I had to go out and purchase a larger 2280
self propelled windrower to handle the higher yield. I estimate that
I was yielding about another ton of hay per acre by the end of the summer.
The weevil and aphid problem that plagued
me year after year was now very minor in comparison to past years. However,
you must apply AgriCultures enough in advance of your pest problem
to allow the microbes to be taken up into the plant system. I was so
pleased to know that I had a healthy organic crop of hay without subjecting
myself to harmful chemicals.
I also have some alkali patches within
my fields and the application of the microbes was phenomenal. to say
the very least. My alkali went from snow white last year to less than
half the alkali this year. I am very excited to apply the microbes this
Summer and see how much more alkali can be treated. This to me was the
single most amazing thing that the microbes contributed to my Farming
operation.
I will never again use conventional methods
of fertilization and pesticide control. I am just waiting to see what
wonderful things happen on the Farm, this being the second year of application.
