Find your crop
Harvest Grow products work
on all
soil types, climates and crops.
Production growers
know that regular fertilizer is often not
enough to get big yields and the highest
value from their crops.
Microorganisms, soil moisture, aggregate,
porosity, cation exchange capacity, organic
matter, heavy metals, salts, pH and weather
all play a key role in the success or
failure of their crop when it is harvest
time. By using DirtFert, SugarFlo,
HumicKelp+, Drag Slayer, Humic acid, and
Magnum Grow, our customers know they are
getting the best nutrients in a form that
will work harder for them every day and
every season.
Farming is hard
enough without having to worry if your
nutrients are working. Harvest Grow
products have what it takes to make your
fertilizers work harder. They hold
nutrients in the soil and stimulate soil
fertility and plant health. Your
grandfather knew how important soil
fertility is, that's why they spread manure,
left organic matter in the fields and talked
about top soil. But things have
changed since his time, some things for the
better and some things not. As a
result, in many areas, soil has become
depleted, heavy metals have built up and
organic mater is inert because of salt
buildup, over fertilizing, over farming, and
chemicals. The soil has simply shut it
down. We have to increase plant
density, irrigation, fertilizer and rotate
crops just to maintain production.
By restoring and
building up the soils natural fertility,
some of these problems can be corrected.
But you have to give the soil and
microorganisms something to work with.
Harvest Grow products do just that.
They contain humus, organic plant matter and
many macro and micronutrients need by the
plant...and the soil. Soil will find
its own "balance" when provided with the
right nutrients and the plant will absorb
nutrients as it needs it. Harvest Grow
products help to restore soil fertility
thereby making more nutrients available to
the plant when it needs it.
Harvest Grow
products can be applied in any soil
type, climate zone, or altitude.
Apply as a foliar spray anytime during
the growing season, even when the plant
is fruiting. When planting, for
best results apply in furrow with the
seed to help with germination.
Banding, or side dressing is also
effective. For correcting general
soil conditions, spray over soil and
lightly disc in. At the end of the
season after harvest, spray on the
soil then disc in with crop residue to
stimulate microbial activity and help
break down organic matter.
We do not
recommend adding additional Nitrogen
when applying our products.
The reason is that powerful chelators
multiply then Nitrogen efficiency by a
factor of 2-5 times. The chelators
help reduce runoff and hold the Nitrogen
in the soil. So you are not losing
as much Nitrogen to leaching and runoff
as you might with other fertilizers.
You actually use what you pay for.
If you add additional Nitrogen you run
the risk of burning, so test a small
area first, or apply additional Nitrogen
as needed at least 2 weeds after
applying Harvest Grow Products.
All our
products are flow able and can be applied
through pivots, drip irrigation, sprinkler
systems and hydroponics.

Food Plot
Use MagnumGrow Habitat Nutrition. Apply 2-3 gallons per acre as a broadcast spray at planting, lightly disc in with seed. Apply an additional 2-3 gallons per acre when the plant are 6-8 inches tall. Additional applications of 2 gallons per acre to promote new shoot growth all season long.
Food plots are areas planted with native or agricultural vegetation to attract various types of wildlife. They are usually at least 1/2 acre in size located in an open sunny area with native cover around them. Hunters use them to establish feeding patters or seasonal forage areas in anticipation of harvesting game during hunting season. Food plots are also used for observation, supplement food sources or nutritional forage areas.
How do I get started?
Do yourself a favor, contact your local extension office for recommendations on planting food plots in your area. Their local knowledge will save you time and money. Ask them questions. What kinds of seeds to plant? What time of the year to plant? What plants attract what types of animals? What has worked best in the past? Is there something new that is working? They are a great resource and in most cases, share your enthusiasm for the outdoors. They can help you avoid some of these common mistakes:
Using too much fertilizer or seed can damage or even ruin your food plot.
Not preparing the soil thinking you can just spread seed. It will usually fail.
Not fertilizing when seeding and forgetting to fertilize after the plants are up.
Too small of a food plot for the area.
Planting old seed
Using the wrong kind of seed for your area.
Planting too late for the plants to grow.
Relying on advice from people not in your area.
Prepare the site and the soil
Seeds are expensive and you want them to grow. Soil is the key building block from which plants grow, and without the right soil nutrients, plants will not achieve their maximum yield. So, be sure till the soil thoroughly. This will allow nutrients and water to penetrate the soil which is also referred to as porosity and tilth. Roots can grow deeper and absorb more nutrients making your plants stronger. Now you are ready to apply your seeds and Magnum Grow. It is recommended that you lightly disc in your seeds with Magnum Grow. After the plants are 6-8 inches tall, or beginning to show foliage, come back and apply Magnum Grow as a foliar spray. You will do this 2-3 times during the growing season. You can even apply Magnum Grow right before or during hunting season for continued sweet and tender new growth.
Choosing your site
Food plots are usually a minimum of ¼ to ½ acre for every 20 acres of land. It is usually recommended to plant at least 1-2 acres for Deer. If you have more land available, plant several locations, rather than one large food plot. This gives you the opportunity to grow different types of forage to see what works best. Locate them along good dense cover areas like windbreaks, wooded areas, fencerow, or bedding areas. Locating a food plot in or adjacent to agricultural crops may not be the best choice because your food plot is competing with potentially ample forage. The idea is to isolate the wildlife in your food plot for a more successful harvest. Check with the land owners in the area. They may know where the best cover and concentrations of wildlife are.
Choosing your Seeds
Nowadays there are several very good seed blends available for food plots. These companies have made it much easier to get the right mix you need. Just keep in mind that the daily and seasonal dietary requirements for does, bucks, and fawns can typically be met by a mixture of grains, high-quality green forage, fruits and nuts, and woody plant materials found throughout most habitats. If your property or neighboring properties lacks one or more of these food types, then you may consider incorporating one or more into your food plot. For example, planting a green browse food plot is attractive to deer in areas dominated by woodlots and row crops. Likewise, grains are attractive to deer in landscapes where grass pastures are the dominant agricultural practice. Generally, the main dietary components should be available to deer throughout its home range. Having a concentration of those elements in your food plot is a good practice.
Other things to consider
Reduced seeding rates. Planting rates of food plots for deer are approximately equal to those for production agriculture. However, reducing the seeding rates allows for the growth of forbs within the food plot that can enhance its value to other wildlife species. Not only will the annual plants be a food source for many species of birds and mammals, but the resulting habitat will provide nesting cover and insect foraging habitat that will benefit ground nesting bird species like bobwhite quail, ring-necked pheasant, and some songbirds.
Frequency of planting. Rather than replanting the same annual food plot every year, you may allow food plots to stand 3 to 4 years prior to replanting. If you have 3 to 4 food plots, replant each one in a different year. The older food plots will provide cover and insect habitat for many wildlife species while the plots that are replanted will provide the high-quality forage for deer.
Plot size. While deer are able to utilize food plots planted in large ( 1 acre) blocks, smaller and less mobile wildlife tend to concentrate their use around the edge near cover. Consider planting food plots in small, linear strips about 1/2 acre in size. This works well for Turkey and other foul that stay tight to cover.
Winter cover. Establish food plots downwind from woody or brushy cover. Small wildlife species can minimize their exposure to the elements and predation.
Brush piles. If alternative sources of cover are lacking, construct brush piles adjacent to food plots. A minimum of one brush pile per 1/2-acre planting should be located around each food plot.
Species diversity. Food plots for deer typically contain only 1 to 2 plant types. Other species of wildlife can benefit from plantings with more diversity. However, food plots containing a mixture of four or more species are usually not compatible and are therefore not very productive. Consider planting small food plots (1/2 acre) containing different combinations of two species.
