Quick Tips From Our 2026 Product Catalog
| Category | Summary & Key Advice |
| Success Ratio | Aim for 60–75% Perennials (clovers/alfalfa) and 25–40% Annuals (turnips/soybeans). |
| Site Prep | Kill all green vegetation with 41% Glyphosate before tillage; ensure 4–6 hours of sunlight. |
| Soil Math | $\text{Acreage} = \frac{\text{Length (yds)} \times \text{Width (yds)}}{4,840}$. Target a pH as close to 7.0 as possible. |
| Frost Seeding | Broadcast clover onto frozen ground in early spring; freezing/thawing naturally incorporates the seed. |
| Monitoring | Use utilization cages; if the crop inside is tall while the outside is bare, increase your plot acreage. |
