Read how these' top growers are boosting profits by 25%. reakthroug BY JOHN . STROHM I'd like' to tell you: of the most exciting fertilizer idea I've run across in SO.years of.farm reporting. It's an idea 'that's hetF l in top farriers break: through their personal'yield barriers .to such yields'` as 130 -bushel cprn : 5..ton hay .,: 4 -bushel soy- beans' 3000 -lb. tobacco The' idea is 'Super Qw, a fertilizcr.so exclusive. • you can't even buy it . . But I'm getting ahead of my'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 scatter3unaFProach to fertilityprob.- leets. So, these hometown manufacturers' pooled theiir strengtherative effort. They called in'' �a grant coOp , in the best scientific brains; and handed them this "impossible” assignment: • 1.. Develop the best fertilizer it is•hu manly'.possible 2. Forget aboutprice-per-ton. But be dead sure this' fertilizer will return the farmer more net profit than MI)? otherP roduct on the market. We want''to. ' guarantee it will, not just talk about it.;' • 4. Formulate .it for the top' farmers in each corn- .. %unity. . We'llrefuse'to sell it to anyonebut the top!. ,4.. Rifle it to ht a specific area,... yes, even a specific moisture euet: 5. Make a different fertilizer for corn, for barley, tobacco, wheat, soybeans.' • 6. Use the beat form of nutrients for the crop --int the cheapest or easiest for the manufacturer.. '•Wowl Some of those who were called in declared; "You.'estcan'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 corn - c munitY , ... pored. over the latest research .. , an= alyzed new manufacturing techniques, new, irate-. rials. They picked the • brains of ag'college special - lists, interviewed top farmers on their personal goals. And then they created Super Q. . rhe Super Q program is a national effort.,>Ithas all the: efficiency and :breadth ' of . bigness .. • but 'local accuracyto i.; with the pinpoint �ve the individ ual grower higher yields and profits: In ;side -by- •side..tcat& on hundreds of farms with six'. different crops, ;Super 'Q outyielded the best commercial. 'fertilizers by"as much' as 25%. •' S uccessful as they have been with Super Q, the S scientists do not see their job:as done. As Dr: Ray Starostka,chief formulator for. Super. Q, explained , to me, "Don't memorize the numbers on a.Super Q bag; they'll change. the minute we get a• new test' or '. .techhnique--or as local conditions demand. ni 11 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 farmers -the top 20% in yields: and , management, They'll make Super Q, pay off., , I surveyed 900 farmers in.ten area's, and it was 'really exciting to,' hear them talk of their goals. • Quite a 'few told me: they 'were 'shooting for 200 bushel corn .. s 7 -ton hay. 600 -bushel potatoes , ...' 60 -bushel soybeans ... 3500-1b. tobacco ... 70 bushel wheat ...100 -bushel barley ... 25 -ton sugar 'beets . 301ton silage ..•.135=bushel oats. The Super Q Manufacturers' are a select group, jealous of :their reputation. Among other things, they must agreeto disciplinary actionshould :they fall below`' the rigid standards. They must pledge to provide soil and crop and managementservices thatwill` 'help Super Qfarmcrs make more profit. • �UP�FERtILIZEIE MADE FOR THE ONE FARMER IN FIVE BY READ FERTILIZERS LIMITED ELMiRp and EXETER, ONtARIO 1 PAGE • ELEVEN ESSENTIAI.
