3000 ACRES – STRATFORD, ON
Region: Eastern Canada
"We've seen a 4 to 7 bu/acre yield increase on our winter wheat since switching from dry phosphate to ALPINE G24 liquid starter about 15 years ago. And our winter survival rate is quite a bit better with the ALPINE starter. It's non-corrosive and it's much easier to pump liquid fertilizer through hoses than to truck and auger a dry product. Having the ALPINE kit frees up space for more seed in our air cart, so we can seed more acres in less time. Sometimes we'll have a soft red wheat in one hopper and a hard red wheat in the other, and depending on what field we are planting we have the choice to seed either. You don't have that kind of flexibility if you're putting dry fertilizer down".
