Farmers Concerned with Corn Yields and Wet Growing Conditions Find a Solution at StollerUSA

Farmers with corn contracts in place are working against the clock to ensure they can meet commitments in a marketplace where USDA has already downgraded crop averages over 15%. Many farmers think StollerUSA's Bio-Forge (http://www.stollerusa.com/)® may be the solution to their current crop yield challenges. Bio-Forge®, a product in StollerUSA's Crop Health Therapy line, is an antioxidant which allows corn plagued by late-plant issues and high moisture conditions to bolster stress tolerance and manage primary sugars to fill out the ear and ear kernels for higher yield. More importantly, unlike fertilizers or nutrient enhancers, Bio-Forge can be applied to the plant at any stage of corn plant growth--a big benefit to farmers that will have corn plants at multiple stages in one field due to the late-plant and replant efforts due to recent flooding.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 20, 2008 -- No one could have predicted the roller coaster ride that corn farmers in America's Heartland are currently experiencing. High commodity prices are offset by skyrocketing fuel and fertilizer costs. Top that off with a dose of chaos from Mother Nature that has littered the Corn Belt with flooded corn crops (http://www.stollerusa.com/mediaCenter/06-12-08.html) and these factors combined have left farmers as stressed as their crops.

Many farmers with corn contracts in place are working against the clock to ensure they can meet commitments in a marketplace where USDA has already downgraded crop averages over 15%.

The question growers are asking is how to get the necessary yields with the wet and flooded corn crops farmers in the Corn Belt are currently dealing with.

Late planted corn (http://www.stollerusa.com/mediaCenter/06-10-08.html) and now replant corn in flooded fields--performs poorly, providing less of a yield and therefore, fewer profits. Shorter growing time, maturation during high heat, fewer days of growing weather and greater exposure to the damage from early frost are just a few crop reducing stressors that are eating away the grower's bottom line.

Many farmers are looking to StollerUSA's university-validated Bio-Forge® for a solution to their current challenges. Bio-Forge, a product in StollerUSA's Crop Health Therapy line, is an antioxidant with growth enhancing co-factors that allows corn plagued by late plant issues and high moisture conditions to bolster stress tolerance and manage primary sugars to fill out the ear and ear kernels for higher yield.

University research shows that Bio-Forge consistently reduces damage caused by plant stress. For example, a study focusing on corn conducted by North Carolina State University showed a 32-bushel-per-acre yield increase when Bio-Forge was applied.

More importantly, unlike fertilizers or nutrient enhancers, Bio-Forge can be applied to the plant at any stage of growth--a big benefit to farmers that will have plants at multiple stages in one field due to the late plant and replant efforts.

A single application of Bio-Forge to the plant foliage anytime during the growing season will help protect the late planted and replant corn crops against stressors that decrease crop yield and quality.

"We're a crop health company," explains CEO and agronomist Jerry Stoller, "Stoller hormone balance technology considers the factors that impact a plant's growth cycle and works to enhance the genetic expression while nullifying the impact of stress issues. Our products focus on how to maximize the performance of plants to maximize profits for growers."

Validated by various university studies, Bio-Forge from StollerUSA promises to be a positive option for those in an increasingly challenging agribusiness environment.
