Helicopters , Helicopters , Helicopters !!

Over the past few years we have missed opportunities for our growers to increase their profits due to the volatile nature of the helicopter business . Continued promises of being ready by early next week but never showing up is frustrating for both Mid-County and our customers ! Well , as the old saying goes , if you keep doing the same thing you will get the same results , so Mid-County is proud to announce that we have just finalized a contract with a local helicopter company . Mid-County has exclusive rights to our helicopter throughout the spraying season . We no longer have to hope someone shows up – we have a helicopter on standby ! Spraying a fungicide on your silage corn can pay high dividends in the bulk

For inoculation , we use Vault HP plus Integral . This robust rhizobial inoculant features a minimum guaranteed count of 10 billion colony-forming units of rhizobia per milliliter guaranteed through the expiration date , not just at the time the product was packaged . Vault HP plus Integral also includes a plant growth regulator to help stimulate root nodulation and greater plant vigor .
