GPS-guided soil sampling, a plan built for your blocks, and the material to carry it out.
Targeted plant nutrition is the core of what we do. Not a blanket rate across a whole ranch, a program built from what your ground actually came back short of, block by block, and then carried out with our own equipment.
Samples pulled on a mapped grid rather than a handful of spots. Good ground and short ground stop cancelling each other out in the average.
A written program for targeted plant nutrition and soil health, matched to the crop, the stage and what the sampling found.
Tractor spreaders in permanent crops, spreader trucks on open ground, at the rate the plan calls for.
Blends are the centerpiece. Because the program starts with sampling your own ground instead of a catalog, the blend gets mixed for what your soil is actually short of. You are not paying for nutrients that are already there, and you are not guessing.
The products we move the most:
Micronutrients, zinc, boron, calcium, manganese, get built into the blend when the sample calls for them, rather than sold to you as a separate pass.
That is a short list. We carry a full range of dry soil amendments and solution grade products besides, including material for fertigation and foliar programs. If you need it, we probably sell it, and at a better price than our closest competitor. Call and ask.
Fertilizer and amendment sales cover all of California and into the western states. Custom application runs through the Central Valley, Bakersfield to Madera.
The most expensive ton of material is the one you did not need. Soil and water testing shows what the ground gave up last season and what it is short of now, the difference between a program and a guess.
The same thinking runs through our Field Report every month: crop stage, what should be going on the ground, and what materials are doing in the market.
Samples come off a mapped grid instead of a few convenient spots, so strong ground and short ground stop averaging each other out. You end up treating the part of the block that needs it at the rate it needs, which is usually where the money is.
A bag is the same everywhere it is sold. A blend is mixed after the soil report comes back, so you are buying what your ground is short of and nothing else. On most ranches that is the difference between a program and an expensive guess.
Fertilizer and soil amendment sales cover all of California and into the western states. Custom application, tractor spreaders and spreader trucks, runs the Central Valley, Bakersfield to Madera, which takes in Kern, Tulare, Kings, Fresno and Madera counties.
Almonds, pistachios, walnuts, citrus, fruit trees, pomegranates, table and wine grapes, kiwis and tomato beds with the tractor spreaders. Open ground, pre-plant rows and woodchip spreading with the spreader trucks. That is where we spend most of our hours, not the limit of what we will take on, if you need it spread, call and we will work out how.
Call (559) 816-3889 or send us the block details. Bring your most recent soil report if you have one; if you do not, that is where we start.
