“A few years ago, I bought crop insurance for some dry land wheat that I was forced to plant late in the fall in really dry soil with no rain in sight. I had treated the seed with Onset to try and reduce my risk. When winter came, I assumed we had a loss, so I went ahead and brought the adjuster out. I got the shock of my life— it had all sprouted! By springtime, I was totally amazed to see the best growth we’d ever had. I couldn't believe the germination and the evenness. Every seed came up. Our gravel bars had the same stand counts as our better soils. I swear I got 100% stand everywhere. But it wasn’t just that each plant came up, each root system was so good that each plant was more productive. We ending up harvesting 80 bushels where we used to only get 40 bushels. We got 4 tons of straw to an acre when we used to get one or two. Our test weight went from a high of 60lbs, historically, to a new high of 64lbs. Protein content jumped from a range of 10-12, historically, up to 13-14. Now I treat all my seeds with Onset.”

“We use Onset on our wheat and have noticed a lucrative increase in our yield. I get quicker emergence and more evenness. We don’t use chemically-treated seed anymore— so that’s good for the environment and good for my workers. It’s easy to do and safe to handle— so you don’t need a bunch of protective gear. Onset drives the root down through compaction, stimulates root growth, and promotes seed vigor. All my plants across the whole field reach full maturity at the same time, so I don’t get a bunch of green berries in the grain bin when I harvest.”

“Three years ago, I did a 50/50 crop share lease that turned out to be an unintentional test comparison for Onset. For his half, the landowner purchased alfalfa seed that was coated, treated, and inoculated. I purchased raw alfalfa seed for my half and then treated it myself with Onset. I planted both halves the same day. When everything came up, we were all amazed. It was incredible! My stand and my growth was at least double his. My half still puts out twice what his does — even though it’s been 3 years since I planted. I’ve learned that root establishment is the key to everything. From now on, I’ll never plant alfalfa without using Onset.”

“I will only use Onset on my seed because it gives me quicker emergence and better stooling. The quicker the emergence, the better the yield. The seedlings are able to push up through the ground better under stressful conditions. Everything grows more uniformly.”
