When it comes to agronomy, Rocky Mountain Supply offers a variety of services and products to the farmer, the rancher and even to the customer who lives in town - fertilizer, chemicals, soil testing, crop advising, and more. Fertilizer because a proper fertilization program is a long-term investment that pays off continuously over time. The basic purpose of fertilizer is to supplement soil nutrient reserves.
Nutrient requirements increase with the level of crop production.
Higher yields mean more roots, shoots, fruit and seed but those yields also mean an increase in total nutrients absorbed by the crop. Soil nutrient reserves seldom have the capacity to provide the total essential nutrients for a crop. The farmer, rancher or other grower must balance crop withdrawals of nutrient reserves with nutrient application. He must be able to select not only the right kind of nutrient, but the right time and method of application in order to obtain the best possible results. To that end, he must rely on time tested tools which can help influence decisions on fertilizer use.
