Most on-farm trials don't fail because of the product. They fail because of no structure and no follow-through.
The checklist every one of our trials runs through at a high level, protocol to report:
✅ Protocol set (one question, not five)
✅ Growers recruited
✅ Applied + documented
✅ Data collected, cleaned, standardized
✅ In-season field visits
🟩 Harvest data (where we are right now)
🟩 Analysis + results back to the grower
Will under apply low test, low yielding areas but soil test depending on sampling method used might not have caught that anyways.
Boron is a big topic here in corn the last couple of years, but waiting until tasseling is likely not the answer to apply some.
Use AI to find products outside of Amazon wheee I want better utility out of the products than they have available, hard to beat the price/delivery they offer on some items.

Horizon DSX seed goes in the slot, not on top of the trash. Depth holds from the knoll to the soft spot.
We’ve been demoing it on Ontario farms. The growers who dig behind it already know if it fits.
519-291-4205 if you want it one on your farm.
