We used the new sub-Nano liquid sulfur product on thousands of acres of canola and wheat, we applied the sulfur at 65mL per acre. We conducted tissue samples of the new leaves a few days after application and we saw the sulfur increase in the plants in every test. In one canola test the sulfur level increased from sufficient to very high. We are very excited to use this new product in the future as it fits very well into our sulfur fertility needs, is easy to use and produces an amazing ROI.

We were unable to get the liquid sulphur fertilizer we needed this spring, we were very concerned with sulphur deficiencies in our canola. We applied the new liquid sulphur product this spring on all of our InVigor and RR canola by mixing it with our in crop herbicide applications. We saw no sulphur deficiencies in any of our canola, even after the heavy rains. We applied at 100mL per acre and we had exceptional canola yields. We plan on using this product again in our sulphur fertility strategy.

We had a dry June in the Midwest but the rains did come in time in July. These heavy rains moved the sulphur in the soil and we knew we would have sulphur deficiencies in our corn and beans. We applied Vantage Ag’s new liquid sulphur at 2 ounces per acre and did tissue sampling. We were very happy with the numbers as we saw more sulphur in both the corn and beans. We saw a 3.5 to 5 bushel increase in the corn yield and a 2.5 bushel increase in the soybean yield. We will use this product and others from Vantage Ag as they are easy to use and gave us a great ROI this year.

We tried a different approach with our fertility strategy in 2022. 2021 was very dry and we had a poor crop. And after we figured out what our fertilizer bill was going to be early 2022 we decided that something had to change, we couldn’t afford the risk of putting all that money in the ground and wait for rain. We worked with Paul to look at what strategies might work for us, we reviewed our soil tests and came up with a plan. We cut back on the fertilizer we put down in the spring and waited to see what kind of stand we would have. We put down our regular amount of N, where it was needed only, and cut back on the potash and phosphate. At 1st herbicide application timing the crop looked very good so we decided to invest $20 more per acre to try and maximize yields. We mixed our herbicides with a mix of N+P+K, ionized S and a biological product that we’ve used for a few years. We tissue sampled a number of fields and crops and were very surprised at how much we increased all of these nutrients into the plants with this small amount of product. The use efficiency of some of the new foliar applied products are amazing. We didn’t get the rain later in the season to fill the crops properly but we will continue to use this strategy in the future. For us it just makes sense.

We tested Vantage Ag’s new liquid fertilizer technology on some wheat on our farm just north of Edmonton this spring. We did a side by side trial with their new zinc and one with copper, we applied both products at 65mL/acre. We were very happy with the results. The wheat sprayed with the liquid zinc showed higher levels of zinc when we tissue sampled the new leaves shortly after application . In the copper trial we saw a minimum of a 5 bushel per acre increase in yield and a higher bushel weight. We will continue to use these products as we have seen a tremendous ROI. We also plan on using the new macro products from Vantage Ag.

A few years ago we decided that we couldn’t continue placing large amounts of salt based synthetic fertilizer in the soil at seeding time and hope for a crop. This strategy no longer worked, with severely increasing input costs and adverse effects we where seeing to the soil, the risk was too high. We decided that we needed to shift our thinking and reduce our front load fertilizer at seeding time to a minimum and if we got rain we could chase higher yields with foliar applied nutrients. The issue we had was that current foliar technology didn’t allow us to get much nutrient into the plants in a foliar application. Last year we started using Vantage Ag’s new Quantum Ag liquid fertilizer products and we were astounded at the how much nutrient we could get into the plant in a foliar application and at such low rates and cost. We were so impressed with this new technology that we decided we wanted to sell this product to other growers in our area that also needed this technology. This year we hired an agronomist to do tissue sampling for our us and our customers. We decided that we would fertilize for 35-40 bushel durum and when the opportunity came with rain in June we now had the ability to use this new technology to get whatever nutrient was short in the plants in whatever quantity that we needed. It was so easy to do; tissue sample to find out what nutrient was required; and tank mix the nutrients with whatever herbicide we were applying in the sprayer and within a few hours we had remedied the fertility issues. We saw tissue samples go from red to green on Phosphate, as an example, with a $7 per acre investment. These new products from Vantage Ag have changed the way we farm. They have helped us drastically reduce our risk and if mother nature is cooperating we can achieve higher yields. This ROI is one of the highest we’ve seen on any input we have used on our farm.

" The results have truly been amazing, at very low rates and investment we are getting more nutrientsinto the plants in a foliar application than we ever thought was possible ... These tiny nutrientparticles are quickly absorbed and utilized by the plants at a fraction of the price of traditionalgranular fertilizer. The ROI on these products for our customers is extremely high and we willcontinue to work with our grower customers to build trust with these new products from Vantage Ag "
