AGGRAND products produce superior results and

their fertilizer practices and look for other alternatives.
More farmers are returning to the natural products that
their fathers and grandfathers used before the advent of high analysis
chemicals. In addition, as increasingly health conscious consumers
have sought more organically-grown food, the number of organic
farmers has also increased and significantly increased the demand
for organic fertilizers. Organic farms are more resilient to
drought, more energy efficient and less oil dependent.

Midwest Farmer
This is a real life story about
a Midwest farmer who used AGGRAND fertilizer for the first time:
The farmer knew that producing
large quantities of high quality hay can oftentimes be difficult,
and the use of AGGRAND fertilizer would be a test to see if it was
as good as the Dealer claimed.
The farmer followed the
directions provided by AGGRAND. He applied AGGRAND 4-3-3 about 7-10
days after the last cutting of hay at the rate of 1.5 gallons of
4-3-3 mixed with 20 gallons of water per acre using large flood-type
nozzles on his sprayer. In the past, this 11 acre field had produced
between 400-500 fifty pound bales of hay. He knew from previous
experience that what saw during this growing cycle was convincing
him; his commercial fertilizers could not come close to the
production he was seeing in the AGGRAND fertilized field. "I knew it
was going to be good when I raked the hay for bailing, but I was
absolutely thilled when it made 979 bales," he said
The farmer was especially happy
when he did the math on his increased hay yield. He charges $6.00
per bale. "After using AGGRAND on just this one cutting, I produced
more than 23,950 pounds more hay," the farmer said "that means that
I will earn an extra $3000. When you figure that the cost of the
AGGRAND fertilizer was so much less ($22/acre) than the $100/acre by
using chemical fertilizers in our area, along with the increased
production, it is certainly a winning program."
Here are the cost savings on his
11 acre hay field:
Commercial chemical
fertilizer:
- $100/acre x 11 acres = $1,100
to fertilize
- 450 bales of hay x $6.00/bale =
$2,700
- $2,700 - $1,100 = $1,600 gross
profit
AGGRAND 4-3-3
Fertilizer
- $22/acre x 11 acres = $220 to
fertilize
- 979 bales of hay x $6/bale =
$5,874
- $5,874 - $220 = $5,654 gross
profit
The bottom
line: The farmer increased his gross profit dollars by 353% using
AGGRAND 4-3-3 fertilizer.
AGGRAND Fertilizer's Part of Growing Trend Towards Natural
Products - from AGGRAND News, Summer 2011
Growing
Industry for Consumers who Care
American consumers are increasingly savvy about the
dangers of chemicals in food, potential problems with genetically
modified crops and the impact of chemical fertilization on the
environment.
That growing awareness has led to an explosion in sales
and the use of organic or natural products.
USDA Finds 30-Plus Unapproved Pesticides on the
Herb Cilantro
The Chicago
Tribune reports the U.S. Department of Agriculture found more
than 30 unapproved pesticides on the cilantrp
samples.
At least 34 unapproved pesticides showed up on
cilantro samples analyzed by the USDA as part of the agency's
routine testing of a rotating selection of produce. Cilantro was the
first fresh herb to be tested in the 20-year-old program, according
to the article.
"We are not sure why the cilantro came up
with these residues," said Chris Pappas, a chemist who oversees the
Virginia based USDA pesticide testing. "Researchers suspect growers
may have confused guidelines for cilantro and flat-leaf parsely, for
which more pesticides are approved."
This isn't the first bad news for cilantro. In
March of this year, the FDA issued a guidence letter to the
industry to "take action to enhance" the safety of cilantro,
indicating Salmonella has been cited 28 times since 2004 in
cilantro.
The cilantro results have captured the attention
of both regulators and industry leaders, according to the
Tribune article.
"I can assure you
that some of these will be followed up," said Ronald Roy, a food
safety specialist at the FDA. "When we have a clustering of
non-permitted residues around a certain (crop) or with a certain
grower, then we investigate to find the cause and correct the
specific problem so that it doesn't continue."
Scientists,
industry representatives and regulators interviewed for the
Tribune story say the cilantro test results should be
addressed but also note that most Americans - and especially
American kids - don't eat a lot of cilantro at a
sitting.
Pappas, the
chemist who oversaw these rounds of USDA pesticide testing,
reportedly said he grows his own cilantro and individuals who are
concerned about the pesticides found in the herb sold in the stores
can do the same.

AGGRAND 4-3-3 Gains Cerftification in
USDA BioPreferredSM Program
AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer (NOF)
has gained certification into the USDA BioPreferredSM
Program. Under the USDA program, products are considered biobased
if they are composed wholly or significantly of biological
ingredients — renewable plant, animal, marine or forestry
materials. Products certified in the program carry a label icon
that helps consumers make informed choices. The icon is easy to
recognize and consumers can have confidence in the label because
claims about the presence and amount of biobased ingredients are
third-party certified and strictly monitored by the USDA. The
"USDA certified biobased product" icon will soon appear on AGGRAND
Natural Fertilizer marketing material. AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer
also will be listed among products that meet the USDA requirements
on the agency’s web site, www.biopreferred.gov.
USDA BioPreferredSM Program
Goals The core goals of the USDA BioPreferred Program
first were introduced in the 2002 Farm Bill: • To spur the
development of the biobased industrial base through value-added
agricultural processing and manufacturing in rural communities •
To enhance the nation’s energy security, by substituting biobased
products for fossil energy-based products derived from imported oil
and natural gas • To reduce the nation's environmental impact by
promoting products that may be more benign to the environment.
