This is my newest find of minerals that are made locally. I'm sticking with this one until I can find better. Anything you see good or bad about this mineral here.

Looks like the Zn to Cu ratio is out of whack. But I would have to go back to the files and see the industry recommendations.

Phosphorus seams low, we look for 4-7.5%.

Is the formulation based on the needs for your area? If so none of us can really make an informed opinion. But if it's just a general purpose mineral then there have been some valid points made I think.

This is what I have been using for several years from fall to when flies start in early spring then I start with a hi mag version of a mineral with IGR around May I switch the same IGR mineral minus the hi mag component.
This year I waited till recently to start feeding this as it costs some more.
