Calcium & pH foundation
Most pastures are pH 4.8–5.2 with H base sat near 50%. Pro-Cal corrects both in weeks.

Hay & Pasture.
More tons. Better quality. Per cutting.
Hay and pasture suffer the most from underread soil tests. A pH-4.8, OM-0.4%, CEC-2.0 field can't carry weight no matter how much urea you throw at it. Our hay program rebuilds the foundation (Pro-Cal, Humic Acid, biology) before any pound of N pays back, then adds Nitro-Maxx+ on top.
Fighting broomsedge?
Broomsedge is a symptom, not the problem.
Broomsedge thrives on acidic, calcium-poor ground your forage can't compete on. Correct the pH and calcium and the recovering stand chokes it out. Growers across the South have watched it happen season after season.
02 / The growth plan
From emergence to harvest: one plan, stage by stage.
The whole hay & pasture season up top, then the general program below. Every pass is shown at the exact stage it targets, so the picture and the plan line up.
Read this first
This is a general roadmap, not an exact prescription for your farm. No two fields, soil tests, planting dates, or seasons line up the same way, so your stages, rates, and timing will differ. Treat the timeline below as the shape of the program; we size the exact stack and pin every pass to your soil test and your acres.

Each pass has a window. Hit it and it pays; miss it and the dollar's mostly spent.

What's driving the response
Weed pressure & broomsedge
Broomsedge and sage grass thrive on acidic, calcium-poor ground your forage can't compete on. Correct the pH and calcium and the recovering stand chokes them out, with no extra pass.
Carbon & biology
Humic Acid raises organic matter and CEC over seasons. Below 2% OM, hay tonnage caps out.
Slow-release N
Nitro-Maxx+ at 8 gal/ac for sustained tonnage across cuttings. Minimal burn.
Mid-season micros
YieldMaker after each cutting keeps regrowth strong.
