Case Study: ExcelCrop Enhances Hay Production for George Mercieca

At ExcelCrop, we're dedicated to revolutionising farming practices to maximise yield and sustainability. Our commitment to excellence is exemplified in the success story of George Mercieca, a seasoned farmer based in Kyneton, Victoria.

Background: George Mercieca manages a sprawling 120-acre property, where he has been engaged in hay production for years. In 2003, he harvested a fifteen-acre paddock for hay, yielding a respectable 370 bales.

The ExcelCrop Intervention: In September 2004, George decided to implement ExcelCrop's liquid fish emulsion to optimise his hay production. Applying the product at a rate of 100 litres over the same 15-acre paddock, equivalent to approximately six litres per acre, he meticulously incorporated it into his farming regimen.

Application Process: George seamlessly integrated ExcelCrop's liquid fish emulsion into his existing practices, mixing it with water at a ratio of 30 litres per 500 litres of water. This blend was efficiently dispersed using his boom spray tank, ensuring uniform coverage across the paddock.

The Remarkable Results: The impact of ExcelCrop's intervention was nothing short of remarkable. When George harvested the same paddock in late November 2004, the yield surpassed all expectations. A staggering 718 bales of high-quality hay were produced—a dramatic increase from the previous harvest.

Exceptional Performance: While it's common to witness a modest 20% improvement under typical circumstances, George's results were exceptional. ExcelCrop acknowledges that various factors, including the inherent qualities of George's property and farming practices, may have contributed to this outstanding outcome.

The Power of ExcelCrop: George's paddock, enriched with a blend of pasture grasses, clover, and rye, benefited significantly from ExcelCrop's liquid fish emulsion. Our product not only enhanced hay production but also fortified the soil, promoting long-term sustainability and profitability for George's farm.

Conclusion: George Mercieca's experience underscores the transformative potential of ExcelCrop's solutions in modern agriculture. By harnessing the power of innovative fertilisers like our liquid fish emulsion, farmers can elevate their productivity and achieve unprecedented success in hay production.

At ExcelCrop, we remain steadfast in our mission to empower farmers like George Mercieca with cutting-edge solutions that unlock the full potential of their land and cultivate a brighter future for agriculture in Australia.
