10 Questions on Potassium Management

As Maximum Farming System Associates, we educate farmers and defend the truths of nutrient use efficiency. We know the fundamental realities, but consultants and fertilizer sales representatives convince customers otherwise with “what if” fear tactics to keep farmers from taking the right step.


Along with the Winter Goal Line, you received copies of the new "10 Questions on Potassium Management" handout and accompanying dealer notes sheet, "Facts on Potassium". This discussion guide can help your customers know the questions they should be asking their fertilizer suppliers.


Take the handout and give it to customers and prospects. Ask them to ponder this on their own and encourage them to discuss these questions with their other input suppliers to see what kind of answers they get.


Go back a week later and discuss the answers they heard and compare them to the answers you have on the dealer notes sheet.


Copies of both resources can be ordered in the Dealer Tools Resources & Insights tab by searching "10 Questions on Potassium Management". There is also a version for Phosphorus.

Eat & Entertain at NDS & MFCC

One of the most beneficial aspects of National Dealer Seminar and Maximum Farming Club Conference is the time Associates and customers get to network and fellowship outside of meeting sessions. As the events approach, take some time to plan how you would like to connect with your guests and enjoy the Clearwater area. Top-rated restaurants and activities are now available on both the NDS webpage and MFCC webpage.


If you're considering hosting a dinner, plan ahead and make reservations in advance to ensure there is a restaurant that can accommodate your group. Be advised that no food or beverage purchased outside of the hotel is allowed in the meeting/banquet facilities.


MFCC attendees will continue receiving update emails. Please check in with your guests to ensure they are receiving those and are preparing for the conference.


T-minus 45 days until we reunite in Clearwater!
