Orders can be placed based on current conditions for harvest, making inoculants easy.
Promote® Forage-Mate® products are available through Provimi and Cargill
Inoculants
Inoculants are viable cultures of lactic acid bacteria that, when used properly, stimulate the fermentation of forages to help dairy farmers make higher quality silage to feed their cows. We proudly manufacture forage inoculants in our Specialty Blending Facility, a state-of-the-art site built in 2016.
Aerobic Stabilizers
The Promote® Forage-Mate® aerobic stabilizers are liquid and dry blended acid products designed to preserve silage, hay, and other feeds. Our acid blends are all buffered and therefore non-corrosive to equipment and safe to handle.
