“Over the last three or four years we’ve been applying gypsum to individual problem fields that have tighter soils – we’ve got clay loam and silty clay loam kind of mix with tight subsoils. We have certainly seen improved water infiltration in those areas and improved rooting.
“Last year we applied a base of gypsum to about 3,000 acres. We are going to follow through with higher rates where there are specific problems such as high magnesium or poor drainage using variable rate technology.”

“Our soils, which are silt loam to silty clay loam, were very, very hard. We applied GYPSOIL twice over four years, and the soil was much more permeable. The water didn’t stand in it, it went through the profile better and our crops looked great. In one extremely dry year, our neighbor’s corn browned-out early in the lower leaves but our corn never lots its lush green color until it matured.”

"I put GYPSOIL on a 4th-year alfalfa field and we saw big results. It is just incredible how much greener the hay was and how much more tonnage we got per acre after just one application. I think it is a wonderful product. A farmer can use it and see the difference in his field.”

“Our soil tilth is improving – we have performed various types of reduced tillage for 25 years and the soil tilth has never been better. Since using GYPSOIL we are definitely seeing more earthworms working in the soil, helping create better tilth by creating more air and moisture channels.”
