A renowned farm editor reports on a new fertilizer,'w th.

Read how these top growers are boosting profits by 25%. •
rough in fertilizer
:BY. JOHN STROHM
I'd like to tell youof the most exciting fertilizer idea
I've run across in 30 years of farm reporting.
It's an idea that's' helping top ' farmers break,
through their personal yield barriers to such yields
as 130 -bushel corn ... 5 -ton hay ... 45 -bushel spy -
beans + . 3000-1b. tobacco.'"
The' idea is Super Q®, a `fertilizer so exclusive.
you can't even buy it.. + .
But:I'm getting ahead dilly story:
Two years ago a select `group of local manufac-
turers were stung into action by a disturbing truth.
The top .farmers were moving faster than their
• advisers ... demanding that fertilizer companies• •
improve their scattergun approach to fertility prob-+.
lems
So, these hometown manufacturers pooled their
strength in a giant cooperative effort. They called
in the, best scientific brains, and handed them this
"impossible" assignment: •
•; 1. Develop the best fertilizer it is humanly possible
to make.
"2. Forget about price -per -ton. But be dead sure this
• fertilizer will return the farmer more net profit than
any other producton the market. .:• We want to
guarantee it will, not just talk about it.
'$. Formulate it for the topfarmers in 'each coin-.
naunity.We'll refuse to sell it to anyone but the top!'
• 4. Rifle it to fit a specific area yes, even a specific
moisturelevel.
, 5. Make, 'a different fertilizer for corn, for barley,
tobacco, wheat, soybeans~
6. Use the bestformof nutrients for the crop -not
the cheapest or easiest for the manufacturer.
Wow I Some of those yvho were called in declared
"You just can't get•all those coons'up one, tree!"
' But other scientists rose to the challenge. They
tested soil and moisture on top farms in each, com
munity . pored over the latest research... din-
alyzed'•new manufacturing techniques, new .mate-
• ~rials. They picked the brains of ag> college special -
lists, interviewed top farmers on their'persorial goals.
And then they created Super Q.
. The Super Q program is a' national effort It has
all the efficiency and breadth of bigness . but
:_'with the pinpoint local accuracy togive the individ-
ual0grower higher `yields and profits. In ,side -by-
side test's on hundreds of farms with ,six different
crops, Super'. Q outyielded the bestcommercial
fertilizers by as much as 25%.
'Successful' as they have been with Super Q, the
scientists do not sec their job as done. As Dr. Itay
'Starostka, chief formulator 'for Super Q, explained
• tome, "Don't memorize the numbers on a Super Q
bag; they'11'change the minute we get a iieW:test or
technique -or aslocal conditions demand."
1 certainly: don't want to give the impression that
• Super Q is a cure-all. On the contrary, it will only
be sold to top •tarrners --the top. 20% in, yields and
mnagement. They'll make Super Qpay off,
I seirveyed 900 farmers in ten areas, and it was
. • really exciting to hear them talk of their goals.
Quite a few told me they' were shooting for 200-
bushel corn , '7 -ton hay ....600 -bushel potatoes
. 60 -bushel soybeans 3500-1b. tobacco .. , 70-
bushel wheat . . 100 -bushel barley ... 25 -ton sugar
beets .. 30 -ton' silage .":,:.135=bushel..oats.
'The Super Q Mantifacturers are a select group, ,
jealous of their reputation, Among other things, they
must agree to disciplinary action should
they fall 'below the rigid standards.
They mustpledge to provide soil and,
cropand managementservice.s that will
help Super Qfarmers Make nioreprofit.
