Farm Bureau Custom-mix fertilizer is blended to meet your crop needs according to your particular soil requirements.

Since soil fertility is affected by the crop previously harvested, erosion and leaching, nutrient levels may vary not only by area, but from one year to the next.

That's why it pays to rely on Farm Bureau Custom-mix fertilizer. It's custom blended to give you optimum levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash for your soil. -***& Have your soil tested often, and as nutrient levels change, have the appropriate changes made in your Custom-mix fertilizer..
