Dimmitt, TX (July 20, 2009) - Donny Carpenter is a progressive farmer who is always looking for a way to take his high-yielding crops to the next level. “There are lots of products out there. And I am pretty skeptical of most. But when you can find something like Bio-Forge®, that pushes great crop yield to an even higher level, you know it’s worth the hassle of sorting through different products.”

Carpenter farms 4000 acres in Dimmitt Texas - growing corn, wheat, and cotton. This season he applied a seed treatment to his wheat seed: Bio-Forge was applied at 4 oz per hundred weight to the seed.

Carpenter noted that this year’s wheat crop looked exceptional all season long - so he really didn’t see much of a difference to start with. But one day when scanning the fields he noticed a pronounced “line” separating the Bio-Forge-treated wheat from the untreated wheat.

Upon closer inspection it was clear that the wheat heads were more robust and there was less lodging in the Bio-Forge treated plants. “At the end there was a visible difference. And when harvesting I could see the yield monitors jump as soon as I hit the Bio-Forge treated section of the field,” shared Carpenter.

Carpenter claims that the seed treatment was the only difference between the wheat fields. Based on a cost of around $3 per acre for the Bio-Forge and a 12 bu/acre average yield increase, Carpenter figures a $55 per acre return a conservative ROI estimate.

“We’ll be treating all of our wheat seed next year,” confirmed Carpenter. “And I am excited to see what Bio- Forge can do for my other crops, too.”

Bio-Forge is an antioxidant with growth-enhancing co-factors for all crops. It increases the yield potential of high-yielding crops, and makes crops and plants stronger and better able to live through a number of stressful conditions. Bio-Forge can be applied as a seed treatment, in-furrow or as a foliar spray application.
