When is the last time this season I can apply Tiger-Sul products to my fields? – A common question we receive. Our research plots are treated just like farmers field – we put out the majority of our trials immediately before or right at planting! We would like for it to go out in the fall, however we don’t live in a perfect world. (Some consultants have applied our product by air – in a blend – to corn at the V5 stage and reported that it worked well and cost less than AMS, however Tiger-Sul does not have the data to report at the moment.)

Retail Agronomist – The Front Line – It’s our job to sort through those products, picking out the ones we believe provide the highest ROI to the farmer,” Mitchell says. “It’s really working through their acres and helping provide the best solutions to help those farmers solve their issues and help achieve their goals.
