Nutri-Graze from Ralco
Nutri-Graze is a pasture product that helps beef producers reduce off-farm feed costs by increasing their forage production.
Nutri-Graze has been thoroughly researched and shown to increase nutrient availability to plants. It uses Ralco’s proprietary Microbial Catalyst and an organic carbon source to stimulate microbial activity and unlock enzymes that break down nutrients tied up in the soil and release them in a plant-available form. On average, soil tests show 6% more available carbon and 7.5% more available nitrogen.
Initial Nutri-Graze research studies show an average yield increase of 25.9% in treated pastures, which equates to an additional 1,555 pounds of total dry matter per acre.
Additionally, Nutri-Graze pastures exhibited a 4.77 percentage point increase in in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) and a 1.02 percentage point increase in crude protein. IVTD measures the total amount of available energy in forage to an animal.

Great Plains releases VT1100 Turbo-Max
The industry-leading Turbo-Max has been reimagined for even greater versatility and performance. Introducing the VT1100 Turbo-Max, with new features and options, including a double basket for the smoothest finish, chopper reels to handle tough residue conditions and a choice of blades to better match your application. Adjustable gangs deliver cross-season flexibility for optimum residue management and seedbed preparation, making the VT1100 the true vertical tillage solution for producers who take soil management seriously.
The VT1100 Turbo-Max frame has been redesigned to support new finishing attachment options. The updated frame also accommodates heavier transport axles and tires.
Customize your VT1100 with a choice of finishing attachments. Finishing reels are designed to reduce clods as they smooth the soil’s surface. New double finishing reels are engineered for soil that is heavier with a higher moisture content. Both reels flex and maintain even down pressure as they roll through the field. The single basket attachment is well suited for drier, lighter soil conditions. Both options are available with a choice of flat or round bars. Flat bars are more aggressive for breaking up clods, particularly in clay soils; round bars are the preferred option for lighter soils or rocky conditions.
