Nutra-Flo has fertilizers specific for each crop

Mar 16, 2015

Available for corn, soybean, wheat and cotton

With new technology, seed varieties and other tools being developed for precision farming and agriculture, it is slowly turning from a practice to an art form.

Farmers, like painters, must use the proper brushes, tools and paint combinations on different parts of their canvas to bring them to life.

Nutra-Flo from North Sioux City, South Dakota, introduced its RoMax Performance Series, a line of fertilizers designed for the specific crop the farmer is planting. The products are available for corn, soybean, cotton and wheat.

“Our team of expert agronomists created these platforms of N-P-K and micronutrients based on proven crop response,” said Jason Glover, Nutra-Flo Director of Product Development in a press release.

“Complex interactions between N-P-K and micronutrients ensure essential crop functions take place throughout early development, and early development leads to yield gains.”

RoMax wheat is designed to enhance the early season growth and promote root systems that can withstand drought and winter kill. It encourages tillering, improves early season growth which also allows for more grazing potential and can improve water usage and nitrogen efficiency.

RoMax wheat also comes with a guaranteed analysis based on an application rate of 4 – 10 gallons per acre:

Total Nitrogen (N) ........................................9.0%

Available Phosphate (P2 O5 ) .................... 24.0%

Soluble Potash (K2 O) ....................................3.0%

Copper (Cu) .................................................. 0.08%

Manganese (Mn) ........................................ 0.08%

Zinc (Zn) ........................................................ 0.05%

Join the discussion. Is RoMax something you might consider using for your wheat or other crops?

Video: Treating Sheep For Lice!

We are treating our sheep for lice today at Ewetopia Farms. The ewes and rams have been rubbing and scratching, plus their wool is looking patchy and ragged. Itchy sheep are usually sheep with lice. So, we ran the Suffolk and Dorset breeding groups through the chutes and treated them all. This treatment will have to be done again in two weeks to make sure any eggs that hatched are destroyed too. There was a lot of moving of sheep from pen to pen around the sheep barn but by all the hopping and skipping the sheep were doing, I think they enjoyed the day immensely! We hope you do too!
