AGGRAND customer Tom Joyner of Glade Park, Colo. isusing AGGRAND Natural Liquid Fertilizer 4-3-3 for the firsttime this year.

Joyner is long-time friends with Dealer Ron Arellano, alsoof Glade Park, Colo.

Arellano supplied Joyner with two bottles of AGGRAND4-3-3 and Joyner created his own test plots on about threeacres of land.

The four outer rows were planted and fertilized withgranular chemical fertilizer. The two inner rows wereplanted four weeks later and fertilized with AGGRANDwhen plants were 1 foot high.

The difference is outstanding; the AGGRAND corn ismore than 9 feet tall, said Arellano.

Glade Park is at the foot of the San Juan Mountains. Itsreally corn country, Arellano said. That made it all themore surprising to Arellano when Joyner called to say,Ron, youve got to see this corn.

He is really amazed, Arellano said. Holy cow, I lookedat that corn and I could hardly believe my eyes.

Joyner will continue to use AGGRAND 4-3-3 in the future.Hes just really pleased with it, Arellano said.

AGGRAND Test Plots RecoverFrom Early Summer Hail Damage

The AGGRAND growth plots first described in thespring issue of AGGRAND News were hit in June by ahail storm that left little hope of recovery. But, asfarmers everywhere will tell you, hope springseternal...

The hope was not in vain. The photo essay on thispage shows the dramatic recovery the AGGRAND-fertilized plants made during the 2010 growing season.

The plants were fertilized with AGGRAND NaturaLiquid Fertilizers and tended by AGGRAND personnethroughout the growing season.

AGGRAND personnel fertilized the plants withAGGRAND Natural Fertilizer about every two weeksthroughout the growing season. This season wasparticularly wet, according to local growers.

TOMATO PLANTS A hail storm on June 24 did extensive

damage to the tomato plants in the AGGRAND test plot in Superior,

Wis. We had a setback, but the plants bounced back, said Richard

Holappa, research and development manager.

END OF THE SEASON The tomato plants had remarkable

recovery from the hail damage. They were trimmed in the fina

week of August to support fruit development.

BEAN PLANTS After the hail storm hit on June 24, these bean

plants looked like they might not make it.

GREAT COMEBACK Although these beans struggled to survive,

they grew lush, strong and productive with the help of AGGRAND

Natural Liquid Fertilizers.

The Power of Food PlotsJust like humans, animals are healthier and feel better

when they eat nutrient-rich foods. Also like humans,wild animals choose the best food source available, andthat means higher protein levels over others. Thatswhat makes food plots so powerful. Proper seedselection, along with effective soil preparation, greatlyincreases protein levels over natural forage.

AGGRAND Natural Wildlife Food Plot Formula boostsnutrient levels, including protein, and provides theprimary, secondary and micro-nutrients plants need toflourish. Improved habitat and easy access to succulent,nutrient-rich food attracts more wild game and helps

grow larger, healthier animals.

Plot Formula Fertilizer also enrichesthe soil with increased nitrogen levelsfor greater soil microbial populationsand better nutrient uptake in crops forhealthier, more resilient plants. Otherbenefits of this new formula include:

Proper sulfur levels provide highlevels of protein in seed crops, foragesand legumes, producing crops animalsprefer.

Potassium enables efficient use of carbon, hydrogenand oxygen, regulates plant tissues and fluids and is aprime requirement in chlorophyll construction,resulting in more of the large, nutrient-rich plants thatanimals prefer.

Phosphorus is important in flower, seed and fruitdevelopment, essential for vigorous growth of plantreproductive parts and facilitates efficient energystorage and transfer. Plants produce more seeds andfruit, providing more for wildlife to eat and allowingplants to re-seed themselves for better-establishedstands of vegetation.

Correction: Winter 2010 AGGRAND News

A story on page three of the Winter 2010 AGGRAND News, "Sunflower Hills Golf Course Greens Up With AGGRAND,"failed to mention that Dealer Wilbur Miller of Bonner Springs, Kan. was the servicing Dealer for the golf course.AGGRAND regrets this oversight.
