“They are Wonderful!!!! Got some for Christmas and I haven't worn any other boots to the barn since. Whenever I would ride or be doing chores, it would get to the point where my feet hurt soo much from the cold. Now they are toasty! I love love love them! I’ve also been wearing them the last few days when it was warm and it was good too! So not like it has to be sub zero to be beneficial. Recommend to everyone!”—Lindsey Marie Stack

The Crystal Blue Lake & Pond Treatment helps to settle out dissolved liquids in order to maintain your pond color and clarity all year long. 1 gallon of Crystal Blue treats 1 acre, 4-6 ft. deep.

The best part about all of these products is that they are 100% safe for humans, fish, livestock, pets, birds, swimming, consumption and irrigation!

The Natural Pond Cleaner should be applied in the spring when water temperature reaches 50 degrees. 1 gallon treats 1 acre, 4-6 ft. deep and for the best results, re-treat pond every 30 days with ½ gallon. Crystal Plex is used for algae and weed control and 1 gallon treats 1 acre, 1-2 ft. deep. The last product is WeedPlex Pro, which is great for terrestrial weeds, grasses and tree shoots.

Trophy Rock

Are you a serious hunter who cares about antler size and herd health? If so, then you need to try Trophy Rock. It is the most effective natural mineral supplement available today. Trophy Rock contains over 60 beneficial trace minerals that improve antler development and overall herd health. The minerals improve muscle function, bone development, digestion, and gestation. It will keep the deer coming back again and again, but it isn’t a bait product and should not be used as one. The best part is that Trophy Rock is safe for every type of wildlife all year long.

The best time to set up Trophy Rock is during the early spring months when antler development is just beginning. For optimum results, place it on a rock or stump in a secluded area and replace it once it gets to about the size of your fist.

Try it for yourself and see why so many hunters have become Trophy Rock fans for life!

Frost Seeding

Looking for a low-tech and low-cost method of forage improvement?

Frost-seeding is a simple method that is inexpensive and relatively simple to do. The seeds need to be placed into the soil in mid-spring, when the daytime temperatures are above freezing and the nighttime temperatures are below freezing. This daily freezing and thawing, which shrinks and swells the soil, works the seeds into the soil. Eventually, when the temperatures become consistently warmer, the seeds can germinate in the soil and begin the process of establishment.  This is low-tech and low-cost because all that is needed is something to spread the seeds with and the actual seeds. Most frost-seeding is done with legumes, either clover or alfalfa, however this method does not appear to work very well for grasses.

The best time to start frost-seeding is from late February through early March.

In order for frost-seeding to work, there are four steps:

 The first is that the seed has to reach the soil surface. If you have an old hayfield with thick vegetation or an abandoned field with a lot of litter then this process will not work.

The second step is that the seed must also work its way into the soil. Timeliness is crucial. If you seed too early the seed may die and if you seed too late then there is not enough frost to do the work.

The third and fourth step is that the new seedling must be able to compete with the plants already in place and you must be seeding the right plant into the right field or pasture to be successful.
