My Neighbor Bought This Stuff After Seeing My Hay Field!
I brought my mom up through here the other day and she was pretty impressed with it because she's my raker. She's like, that's worth raking. Last year, we just cut it just for fire danger and she was not impressed. We put up probably about three hundred ton on a good year. That's fallen off a lot. This field we're sitting in right now, it got to where it was not producing at all, three or four round bales for this whole upper area. We started doing some soil samples, did those. They wanted to sell us a bunch of chicken manure and I was like, no, I don't think so. So we sent my results to my nephew and he's a farmer in Nebraska. He sent them to his agronomist. That guy suggested that we aerate, plant clover if we're gonna plow anything up, which I told you earlier, I'm no farmer, so we weren't doing the plowing thing. But we did plant a bunch of clover. So we started the aeration, which helped a bunch. We started seeing old grasses that we used to have. That's when I seen the ad for the Rhyzogreen. Like what we heard, it was half of what the chicken manure was gonna cost. And we don't fertilize anything. We like to keep everything natural. We were a little late even the first year getting it on when we should have, but middle of June, maybe even towards the end of June. Typically was putting up like about forty big round bales. That first year we put the Rhyzogreen on it, it put up fifty two bales. I was pretty tickled with that and that wasn't even the whole, we still had more field to hay and that was just that area. That's another five days of feed in the winter that you don't have to buy hay for at two hundred bucks a ton. So we ordered more the next year. We did some sub ground, which I was not real sure how that was gonna work. They all tell you that you need to get it on the leaves. I had a neighbor kept driving by looking at it. In the background, he could see where we had already hayed and it was still green. And it was September and he's like, is that hay down there? I was like, yeah. And he was pretty impressed with what that was looking like that we hadn't hayed yet. And the undergrowth, the top looked mature but the undergrowth was still nice and green. He actually bought some and I sprayed his place this year. People can definitely see a difference if they're looking, you know. I would say it was a darker green toward later in the summer when it was closer to haying. There's less dirt patches in between your grass, like it's filling in with grass since we started the microbes are working and stuff. We had some we sprayed just for pasture, and the cows just kept coming back to it. They almost had to fence it off even after it had dried up. When they had green grass everywhere else around them, they kept coming back to that one test spot. Tells me the soil must be working, doing what it's supposed to, putting more nutrients in that grass. Even like on the hay, way less waste on the feed ground. When them cows are cleaning up that hay instead of not eating it because they don't like it as well and yet they don't look very good, like, there's an issue there. That bottom that was subbed that I sprayed, them cows ate that hay and licked the feed grounds clean compared to the same quality of hay but not Rhyzogreen. And then they'll walk behind the feeder when you're not feeding them Rhyzogreen hay anymore. Like, hey, where's the good stuff? So, yeah, I definitely see a difference there. We get in on that fall sale, which is considerably cheaper. That's nice. The other day when we went to spray the neighbors, I can remember some of my mixtures and settings on the sprayer. I just called Kirby and bam, he picked up the phone. We talked about what we were doing. He walked me through it and totally all came back. I remembered it from last year and he's been great. I would say try it. I've I've seen the results. If you're my neighbor driving by, you should see the results from the field. So like the one neighbor did, obviously. Like a bunch of my neighbors fertilize. The ones I've talked to say they have to keep adding more. I would say definitely try the Rhyzogreen. Wake that soil up. Get it working for you again.
Fast Facts

No fertilizer applied

Hay production increased from 40 to 52 round bales

Added roughly 5 extra days of winter feeding
- Neighbor saw results and became a customer!
When one hay field nearly stopped producing, Wade Rogers focused on improving soil health with aeration, clover, and Rhyzogreen—and the results surprised him.
Instead of the usual 40 round bales, the field produced 52 bales after their first application. The forage stayed greener later into the season, filled in bare patches, and even had neighboring producers asking what had changed.

Seen a lot of savings on our on our pastures. Generally, figure about five and a half to six acres of pair around through here. We've been even last year through the drought of that we had of twenty twenty, we did four and a half acres of pair on on ours, still had adequate grass left. Cattle came off in good condition. They weren't weren't malnutritioned, weren't low body scores. Been running pretty consistent, six body score better on everything. We're paying right around fifty dollar an acre cash rent up here is kinda kind of a common thing. You can knock out an acre here off of every cow that that saves a lot of money. Mean, fifty fifty bucks and you don't need four hundred another four hundred acres. It's another twenty thousand. So all of a sudden you got forty forty five thousand dollars in your pocket and you still have all the extra added benefits through the mineral, the health benefits of it. And it really saved on the last year too with the drought. We didn't think we'd get through. We put the same amount of number in the pastures and it didn't rain. We pulled it out and we still had old grass in the pasture. I didn't know the tub saved that whole deal. We had stretched it a lot because there was a lot of people selling cows and we didn't sell anything and we didn't pull them out early. And this year, most of the pastures around here are pretty much nothing. And we drove through everything. We still got, you know, shoots of grass and tufts of grass all over the place. Not a lot, but it we kept them. It made a huge difference. As far as paying for itself, you know, you got to feed and you start saving instead of a lot of guys are up to forty five, fifty five pounds. It was figured somewhere in there a big cow and even when they had the calf on them sixty pounds. So if you're feeding thirty pounds, yeah, it's gonna easily pay for itself without you see a bit. I mean, we, you can see it on the cow calf pairs too, bigger calves. We calve in May, June, and we're weaving seven hundred and some pound calves off of Dallas. So it makes, yeah, we can see the difference really easy. You just go through each step and see We're running more cows than we used to run on the same acres. That is a big deal. Because I used to on on my pastures, they're not big pastures, but on my pastures, I used to run twenty five head and they would have it grazed down to nothing in five months easy. Now I can run thirty, thirty five on the same pastures, and they can stay there another month longer easy on any given year. And this year, they got to stay two months longer, and there's still grass left over. Well, yeah, it's high priced, but it's like if if you can afford or not. But I think you can afford it because you cannot afford not to feed it because you can get your cattle to market faster. They're healthier. You could run more cattle on your land or you can stay there longer before you have to move on to an another patch. The cows are way healthier. They're way more content. They're happy. They're happy cows.

"We've been able to save enough hay with Riomax and we're increasing our production with Rhyzogreen. Both of those products have made it possible for us to have the confidence in knowing we're gonna be just fine.

"I think it's a pretty cheap way to get way more out of your soil than what we do weithout. More out of what they eat, so they eat less, and Rhyzogreen gives them more grass."
Shane Keller

"...It's a win-win. You're attacking it on both fronts and you're nailing it on both fronts, so it's kind of a no-brainer. Why wouldn't you do both (Riomax and Rhyzogreen) at the same time?"
Bradley Franke

"I saw increased yields on every field I treated, every one...The worst yield increase was 17% up to 85%."
Todd Farrington

“The ground I sprayed versus the ground I didn’t was about 3 bales to the acre difference... $300/acre value. The product has more than paid for itself. This is something we’ll continue to do. It speaks for itself.”

“Went from 40 acres/cow in this drought to 30 acres/ cow . . . that’s $70/ cow/year!“
