The Ultimate in Agronomics
If you’re a livestock producer looking for good quality on-farm feed, then Quantum Power Blends could be just what you’ve been looking for. Over the past two years, Quantum Power Blend acreage has been growing exponentially as more producers discover the usefulness of this highly efficient feed. Quantum’s success stems from its easy threshing, early maturity, good standability and its ability to produce abundant yields of high-protein grain. Results from on-farm and scientific research trials conducted from 1998 through 2001 confirm that Quantum is an excellent complement to barley and oat mixtures.
Once again this year there will be two different Quantum Power Blend mixes, the Quantum-Manotick-Formosa mix, which has always been a strong choice, as well as the Quantum-Manotick-Baxter blend. Due to popular demand, a 50:50 Quantum-OAC Baxter mix will also be available this year.
