We Have a Targeted Application…
“HumberPalmers works for me. With a target application date of 28th January, we grow enough grass to feed Ewes and Lambs with no concentrate feed required.”

Farming Above 1,000ft…
“Farming beef and sheep up to 1,000ft above Bala lake I’ve been using HumberPalmers fertiliser for the last 35 years. Sheep and cattle have always done well grazing thick and very productive swords.”

Diary Cattle of All Ages Do Well…
“We have been HumberPalmers customers for three generations. Our main reasons for using their fertilisers is that they are well balanced with added sulphur, trace elements and magnesium, which our dairy cattle of all ages do well on.”

Soil Improvement…
“On our family farm we have been using HumberPalmers for several years. Many fertilisers have a short term impact but HumberPalmers year-on-year has produced excellent grass yields throughout the season. I feel since using Nitragro our soils have benefited from the positive impact it has had on the bacterial activity.”

My Grass Quality has Vastly Improved…
“After using HumberPalmers fertiliser for the last 3 years my grass quality has vastly improved. This year we applied Opti P (23.10.0+20SO3) for first grazing and then No.17A (18.4.4+1MgO+32.5SO3) and No.18 (20.4.5+2MgO+26SO3) for silage.”

Allowing for an Extended Growing Season…
“HumberPalmers fertiliser is complimenting my rotational grazing system well and allowing for an extended growing season.”

Good Early Cover on High Ground…
“We farm up to 1200ft above sea level, our policy is to apply 150kg per acre of No.18 (20.4.5+2MgO+26SO3) by the end of January. The nutrients become available as the soil warms up giving good early cover on high ground.”

Tyllwyd Farm, Llanwrda, Carms (2022)
Quality Grazing and Stock…
“I’ve been using HumberPalmers now for the last three years, and I’ve seen a huge difference in the quality of grazing lasting well into the summer, and more noticeably the quality of the stock grazing those fields.”
RJ Tweedie and Co
Buchtrig, Jedburgh (2021)
Better Quality and Quantity of Grass…
“Since using HumberPalmers we have had better quality and quantity of grass. We have also noticed over the last 2 years that the cows intake of mineral buckets has reduced which would suggest they are getting more minerals through their forage. The HumberPalmers really seems to work like a soil conditioner as well as a fertiliser.”
Gethin Brown
Lower Llantidwell, Tavernspite, Whitland (2019)
Consistent Results for Over 35 Years…
“We get consistent growth of palatable grass. We are so pleased how healthy and clean lambs are, with most finishing without the need for supplementary feeding.”
Joel Rowe
Rhyndaston Fawr, Haycastle, Haverfordwest (2019)
Mineral Rich Grass…
“One application in early spring gives mineral rich grass that livestock thrive on throughout the grazing period, with very few magnesium problems.”
Edward and Hugh Archdale
Penbedw, Nannerch, Mold (2019)
Delivering Performance I Can Trust…
“I’m a first time user of the HumberPalmers fertiliser. I tried 10 tonne to start and I was extremely happy with the performance so I ordered another 10 tonne.”
Ioan Davies
Penlan Farm, Llanwrda , Carms (2017)
Another Farm Reaping the Benefits…
“I am a very satisfied customer after seeing the growth and quality of our pastures this season. The fields are looking at their best after the use of HumberPalmers fertiliser and the conformation of stock has improved as a result of better grazing. This fertiliser is highly recommended and I will be continuing to use on the farm.”
Robert Last
Wernddu, Felinfach, Lampeter, Ceredigion (2017)
Ensuring Good Quality Forage Production…
“HumberPalmers fertiliser gives us quality and quantity of grass that is easy to manage. Our milking cows have performed well producing better yields and solids from forage.”

In Practice…
In March 2017, J & S Davey and Partners undertook a split field trial of the HumberPalmers products, in this instance Opticut, which is the specialist cutting fertiliser against normal practice and the results are quite impressive.
They split a couple of fields down the middle at their choosing and the program administered to the fields were as follows:
Normal Practice
- 1st cut 2500 Gallons of slurry followed by 100 kg/acre of 38:0:0:19so3
- 2nd cut 2500 Gallons of slurry followed by 75 kg/acre of 38:0:0:19so3
- 3rd cut 2500 Gallons of slurry followed by 75 kg/acre of 38:0:0:19so3
Trial
- 1st cut 2500 Gallons of slurry followed by 125kg/acre OptiCut
- 2nd cut 2500 Gallons of slurry followed by 75 kg/acre of 38:0:0:19so3
- 3rd cut 2500 Gallons of slurry followed by 75 kg/acre of 38:0:0:19so3
As you can see the only difference was 1st application of fertiliser and from the below chart you can see the improvement this has made on the 2nd and 3rd cuts on fresh samples pre clamping.
