Fun in the Snow at our Richie, Montana seminar for SumaGreen

What a success at our seminar in Richie, Montana.  We had farmers representing over 50,000 acres and over 80% of them ordered product before we packed up all of our stuff to leave.  These crops ranged from Winter Wheat, soybeans, lentils, mustard seeds, and peas.What a great day for both the farmers and SumaGreen.

We had presentations from Steven Elwell, President of SumaGreen; Chuck Granthem, Director of Field trials; and Tristan Veverka, Distributor of SumaGreen.   Chuck a 25 year extension agent of Mississippi, talked about all the results SumaGreen has had from all over the USA along with continued field trials that are happening again this year with our Sumagrow technology on crops from corn to tomatoes and green peppers.  Steve talked about the benefits to farmers by using SumaGreen.   Benefits like Increased yields in ALL crops, Decrease input costs, and reduction of fertilizer usage of 50-100%  while having farmers report how our SumaGreen has helped reduce diseases in their crops.  Also while talking about our OMRI (Organic products) listed products for Organic farmers.  Then Tristan showed results from his own farm (now going on their third year of usage) showing increased yields on peas, wheat and mustard seeds from 15-25% while saving money in input costs on his farm.

Making a Sale with SumaGreen

Can what you say actually cost you a sale to a potential client?

Well YES!! This is pretty obvious but knowing how to say it is the most important. After you have given your pitch on the product let the client ask the questions and do not be afraid to say you do not know the answer to one of their questions. Making up the answers is really bed and will only make things WORSE. This will only make you look bad in the long run. QUOTES from other people gives more creditability to how the SumaGreen products work.

UNDER promise and OVER delivering is the way to go. Sure we have had results of 40-70% increases in crops but telling them they should see a 10-20% increase in yield and letting them get a 30% increase is better then telling them they will get a 40% increase in yield and then they get 20%! Client should be happy with the 30% increase but now wants to know what went wrong because he only got 20%.

Over talking to a client and stating 100’s of benefits make the product seem “to good to be True”. Again let the client tell you what they notice after using the product. If they need a push mention some things that other LCO’s / Farmers have seen by using our product. Like telling them about results of better growth in of grass in shaded areas, farmers that had 14 foot sugarcane, 8 foot tomato plants, Blueberries and Tobacco that survived the several frosts, golf courses that saw less wilting in the turf during the Summer months, and of course the quotes of better tasting crops. Being able to stay in touch with your client and getting them answers quickly on their questions is always a plus.

ALWAYS get a testimonial from a current user telling about how well the product worked for them.

Remember SumaGreen is an extraordinary product and once you get a farmer to use it you will have them for life as they can easily see the results. Never leave the situation one where you are someone they do not want to have return. Always leave the door open to being able to come back when you have even MORE results on how well the product worked on a crop that they grow or how well the product worked on farms in nearby areas. This is why we have Farm Days. This only gives that farmer FREE PRESS to product their crops and also helps you spread the word about what SumaGreen can do for others.

Research & Development of SumaGreen products with Sumagrow inside. "If it has a root system we can help it"

The technology of SumaGreen products have been expanded and perfected through vigorous research and development over the last 10 years. SumaGreen is manufactured in a 25,000 square
foot manufacturing facility (was named the Second fastest growing manufacturing plant in the USA - #77 in the World -2013) housing specialized laboratories, blending operations and soil testing equipment utilizing the latest in technological offerings.
In addition to in-house laboratory research, extensive field research has been conducted through:

Greenhouse studies (several Universities)
Replicated plot trials
Specialized testing facilities (ARISE research facility in Illinois along with others)

Products containing this technology has been evaluated in various soil types and climate conditions throughout the United States as well as China, India, Vietnam, Honduras, Africa and others. Row crops, forage and hay crops, vegetable crops, fruit and citrus crops, ornamental flowers, and lawns and recreational turfs are reflective of the crops evaluated using this technology.

This technology has been rigorously challenged and is continuously tested to maintain and expand its abilities in the following areas:
Increase crop yields (10-20%)
Improve soil health and fertility
Reduce the toxicity of chemical fertilizers (reductions of 50-100%)
Improve nutrient uptake
Farm/Ranch field trials (over 20 different states)
Enhance the uptake of phosphorus
Increase the movement of iron in the soil
Loosen tight and compacted soils (Due to longer root systems)
Improve the soil moisture condition
Increase organic matter
Increase the water holding capacity (deeper roots= deeper water table)
Hold exchangeable plant nutrients in the soil
Improve micronutrient nutrition by chelation
Improve the aeration of soil

Research results have overwhelming shown that SumaGrow:

Increases crop yields (10-20% Increases)
Reduces fertilizer dependence
 (50-100% decrease in fertilizer and other inputs)
Raises the nutrient density of food stuffs (Higher Brix levels)
Lowers water needs (about a 1/3 less water needed to grow crops compared to fertilizer)


In addition to improved crop performance, this technology has been evaluated for its efficacy in
remediating soil contaminants, including coal refuse, and reducing soil erosion, nutrient leaching
and water run-off.
Our technology has also been tested for its abilities to decrease nitrate leaching and increase the water retention and holding capacity of soil.
Accurate research and development and excellent product performance requires that the quality
control of SumaGreen will be closely monitored. Special care is taken that no external contamination occurs from preparation to bottling and shipment. Research and development remains the driving force behind the unsurpassed technology and will continue to be central in its expanding role in the conservation of agriculture and sustainable farming.

If you are interested in seeing it work on your farm by growing corn, Soy Beans, Cotton, Tobacco, etc or you are interested in having your Landscaping company use it on your grass or athletic turf contact a representative today.

Organic Garlic Farmer from Conneticutt Barry Butler

Here is what Barry Butler, an Organic Garlic Farmer, that has used the product since 2011.  Here is a picture he sent us and comments about the garlic he has been raising using the SumaGreen Ag with Sumagrow inside product. 

Anyway  I must say I was so happy with the results. I grew some of the best garlic bulbs ever.  Also, on a smaller field just one mile away, but using the same seed crop, manures and minerals as my main field but without the SumaGreen.   I did notice that the bulbs with SumaGreen showed a significant increase in size.

We always get people saying does SumaGreen work on flowers,corn, grass, etc.  Well the best answer is if it has a root system there will be benefits better then you can get with fertilizer.  We can reduce the fertilizer usage from 50-100% in ALL crops.   If you want better tasting, better growth, and a cheaper way of growing crops then you should not look anymore and get your SumaGreen today.

New Brighton Golf Course , Minnesota (Results in THREE Weeks)

With the pictures below you can see why New Brighton Golf Course in Minnesota were excited about using our Golf products (ReeCourse Golf Greens) on their course.  Look at the difference in just three weeks.  Results vary but they all say the same thing.  Less water needed and more cost efficient then fertilizer with no threat of fertilizer burn on the course.

SumaGreen Testimonial 

Crownover Green Organic Lawn Care - Wake Forest, NC

  

Here is out latest testimonial from an LCO in North Carolina. As you can see from the pictures the lawns are beautiful and are low in stress growing. Here is what Crownover Green had to say about our SumaGreen Turf: As a new organic lawn care company in Wake Forest, NC we researched and experimented with Sumagreen Turf as well as a few other bio soil enhancers and fertilizers during 2012, and we unequivocally chose Sumagreen as part of our comprehensive organic lawn care solution for 2013. It gives our clients' turf a dark green color and seems to keep the lawns greener when other lawns are showing signs of drought stress. We apply Sumagreen on all of our client's lawns throughout the growing season and are very happy with the results. 

Regards, Rodney Crownover

You name the grass from Fescue, Bermuda, even to Kentucky Bluegrass SumaGreen Turf is your answer.

Potatoes with SumaGreen

Hear is how word spreads about SumaGreen. A distributor in Minnesota Kevin Fields had a friend that heard about the product and wanted to try it out on his own garden in Montana because he thought it was to good to be true. 

How many words is this picture worth?

Look at the side by side rows of potato crops in Montana. The SumaGreen treated side outperforming the untreated side which, by the way, was planted 2.5 weeks BEFORE the SumaGreen treated side.

Imagine the REAL difference if both were treated at the same time?

Contact us about results on corn, soy beans, forage, tobacco, cotton, wheat, tomato and any other crop you can think of growing.

Laying Sod Made Easy

Here are simple steps to a Do it your own Sod lawn.

Measuring & ordering ---- Sod is usually sold by the square foot. Get the width times length to determine your square feet you need. If you have an unusual shape make a sketch of the lawn, with the length, width, and any unusual features to help determine the amount of turfgrass sod you will need for your area. Schedule the sod order for delivery after preparatory work is completed and you are ready to install. Prompt installation on the day of delivery is crucial to a strong beginning for your lawn. 

Soil preparation ----- New Lawn - Grade to slope away from home, fill in all depressions, so no water lays. Leave final grade 1" below sidewalks and curbs. Add SumaGreen Turf at a rate of 2 oz per 1000 sq/ft on to the soil. Old Lawn - Strip old grass and thatch layer to bare soil or completely destroy old lawn with rototiller and repeat the steps above.

Sod installation --- Begin installing turf along the longest straight line, such as the driveway or sidewalk. Push edges against each other tightly, without stretching. Avoid gaps or overlaps. Stagger the joints in each row in a brick-like fashion, using a large sharp knife to trim corners, etc. Avoid leaving small strips at outer edges as they will not retain moisture. On slopes, place the turf pieces across the slope.

After installing the turf  roll the entire area to improve turf soil contact and remove air pockets. Water in with SumaGreen Turf at a rate of 2 oz per 1000 sq/ft as soon as a sizable area has been sodded (total used 4 oz per 1000 sq/ft during process). Give your new lawn 1 inch of water within the 1/2 hour of installation. Water daily, or more often, keeping turf moist until firmly rooted. Without SumaGreen Turf this process could take as long as two – three weeks but with SumaGreen Turf it should start taking root in 7-10 days. By the second week you should be able to cut back on watering in as the roots have started to take shape deeper in the ground.
Weather conditions will dictate the amount and frequency of watering. Be certain that your new lawn has enough moisture to survive hot, dry, or windy periods. Water areas near building more often where reflected heat dries the turf.

Caution --- Normally during the first three weeks after sod has been laid you would avoid heavy or concentrated use of your new lawn. This gives the roots an opportunity to firmly knit with the soil, and insures that the turf will remain smooth. But with SumaGreen Turf you should be able to at least enjoy the lawn (depending on weather conditions) after two weeks. Any heavy playing on sod, like an athletic field, we recommend 3-4 weeks to get the roots to grow deeper, and stronger. This will at longer life to the grass due to the cutting and maintenance of the turf.
Maintenance --- Your new sod will increase your property value significantly. With proper care using the SumaGreen Turf you will only need to treat about 3-4 times a year and you will notice weeds will have a hard time appearing in your sod. It will remain a great asset, providing beauty, clean playing surface, and an improved environment.

***TIPS-- A trick of the trade is to order 5% more than what your measurements are, to allow for trimming and waist.

Our products work just as good on existing grass like Bermuda, Fescue, even Kentucky Bluegrass.
