Last year you wasted money on fertilizer.  You overspent on some nutrients and underspent on others.  Your crop suffered from issues that were absolutely within your control.  Has your fertilizer dealer ever said any of these three sentences to you?  Whether he has or not, unfortunately each one of those statements is absolutely true for every farmer in the world.  The real question is, are you ready to do something about it?

I know that putting together your own fertility plan can seem scary at first, but think of the millions of dollars you will invest in fertilizer in your lifetime.  If you improve your knowledge even a little bit on this subject, don’t you think you will earn more money, get higher yields, and of course, be able to brag more about those high yields to your neighbors while still telling the truth?

Here is what you can expect to learn in one day with us at a free Ag PhD Soils Clinic:

  • How to pull a proper soil sample
  • How to read a soil test from top to bottom
  • How to make your own fertilizer recommendations
  • How to make your own variable rate controller files so you can spread your own fertilizer
  • How to determine which nutrients you are overspending on and which ones you need more of

This sounds like a good deal, right?  You learn all this stuff for free.  You make lots more money.  What’s the catch?  There are four big reasons we put on our Ag PhD Soils Clinics:

  1. Because it’s the right thing to do.  We believe God put us on this earth to help farmers.  We have the ability to help you and your farm operation, so that’s exactly what we’re going to try to do.
  2. Because if fertilizer continues to be spread incorrectly as often as it happens today, you and I are going to face a lot more government regulations eventually.  Maybe that’s not a big deal to you, but it certainly is to me.  We feel that if we can help thousands of farmers do a better job with their fertility programs, maybe the government will continue to allow us to manage our farms how we see fit.
  3. Because we hope that if you have a great experience at one of our Soils Clinics, you will be more likely to watch Ag PhD TV and listen to Ag PhD Radio.  More viewers and listeners keeps us on the air.
  4. Because this is one way we can say THANK YOU for watching Ag PhD TV (we have aired a brand new, half-hour show each week for almost 18 years now) and listening to Ag PhD Radio (heard daily on SiriusXM channel 147).
