“If that isn’t good then you don’t want to breed to her. It doesn’t matter how many good deer are on top,” he said. “Remember the goal is not to see how many times you can get the buck into the pedigree.” Cletus added.

Line breeding should never be done longer than three generations, emphasized Borkholder, who’s been raising whitetails since 1992. At that point, you need to introduce fresh genetics through outcrossing, or your breeding

program could be headed for a train wreck. Both Bontrager and Borkholder agree that the best way to get started with line breeding is to visit various farms and find that one doe you feel will begin a line of well-bred, genetically viable and marketable deer and buy her. With patience and thoughtfulness, your Super Charging endeavors can pay off.

For deer pens, pastures, and hay fields the price per acre is $60.00 if purchased in 5 gallon buckets. MyCorr Plus is also beneficial for: • Gardens • Orchards • House Plants • Flower Beds • Lawns • Produce • Green Houses • Food Plots • Pastures • All Agriculture Can you see the crumbly nature of the soil in the picture on the above left? Ultimately, our product enables soil (pictured to the right of crumbly soil) to become the ideal environment for plant life. John and Elaine reported how much better their cattle and horses look this year, eating only pasture and hay grown with MycorrPlus. Coats are shiny and slick, with nicely filled out bodies.

In the picture below, an application MycorrPlus with no other fertilizer was made to the left side of the field. The neighbor’s field on the right received normal applications of NPK fertilizer. MycorrPlus helps to unlock the soil

The best way to save on fertilizer is to utilize every microorganism in the soil.

The more N applied, the more soil structure deteriorates and ironically, the less N is available to plants. You’ll rarely see a nitrogen-deficient plant in a healthy natural ecosystem. I’ve noticed yellow, nitrogen-deficient pastures on many of the dairy farms I pass. But in the area between the fence and the road, where no fertilizer had been used, the grasses were a lovely dark green. A soil test will only tell you what is available to plants by passive uptake. The other 97 percent of minerals — made available by microbes — will not show up on a standard test. By looking after the microbes in the soil we can increase the availability of a huge variety of minerals and trace elements — most of which are not even in fertilizers.
