Great Customer Service and Products
Overview
SoilBiotics products support dealers who want to offer their customers a customizable package that is responsive to their needs and goals for their farm. In Arkansas, one SoilBiotics dealer recommends DgradeR, Soil Boost and Growth Supplement 30 for most of their customers. This supports healthy soil, which is where everything starts.
Growers seek out this Arkansas fertilizer dealer when their current program isn’t giving them the results they want or they aren’t able to get the products they typically use. The dealership employs soil testing to determine what the acreage needs and often starts a new nutrient program with a small sample size of a field. Often, the SoilBiotics products work and the grower expands usage the following season.
Starting with DgradeR, Soil Boost and Growth Supplement 30, additional foliar applications of nutrients can then be added as needed throughout the season. The DgradeR and Soil Boost are applied in the fall or early spring to address soil health. This dealer and their customers have witnessed how this treatment reduces soil compaction, allowing it to retain more moisture and enabling the roots to grow deeper. These aspects are especially important in the field when the weather gets hot and dry.
In addition to the starting program of SoilBiotics products, Growth Supplement 30 and Growth Boost are two SoilBiotics products this dealer often recommends especially when a grower is looking for something different to help them reach their on-farm goals. After applying either of these to several hay fields, they’ve seen impressive results including growers who have broken personal records in bales of hay cut.
“He was blown away,” the dealer said. “The Growth Boost mineralized the chicken litter he had applied and made the nutrients more plant available.”
For another grower’s hay fields, the soil tests showed that the soil’s nutrient levels were good so the dealer recommended DgradeR. Within weeks, the grower cut bales of hay.
“All of his neighbors were asking what he was doing because they said it was growing so fast ‘could almost see it grow,’” said the dealer.
Later that season there was a pest infestation that overtook neighboring hay fields, but the DgradeR-treated field remained healthy, green and pest-free.
As a custom applicator, this dealer appreciates the ease of using SoilBiotics products. They report that all of the products they have used are easy to add to a farming plan, mix in with other products well and don’t plug up equipment.
On top of products that work and are easy to use, this Arkansas dealer raves about the customer service the SoilBiotics team provides.
“We haven’t found anybody who has the customer service SoilBiotics does,” they said. “That sold us on SoilBiotics and the products work, too. We love the products.”
The dealer thrives on providing information and education to their customers and greatly appreciates the support SoilBiotics provides them, including sharing technical information, troubleshooting and answering questions.
