NW IL | I've worked quite a bit with them over the last few years. We are mostly organic so that does help the roi.
My advice is to go slow. They themselves will even tell you to take 1 field and try just 1 or 2 things the first year. Sap testing at different stages helps you know how your fertilizer program is doing compared to the plant needs. It makes a huge difference if you apply foliars at the correct stage and time of day or not.
The lowest hanging fruit is the BioCoat Gold seed innoculant. John has talked about running some kind of money back guarantee on it if you leave test strips and don't have a positive roi. I think the details to that program will be released in a few months.
Nitrogen efficiency is the next best opportunity. We've seen on several fields that N is not our limiting factor, and we are seeing basically 0 grasshopper or aphid pressure where we run N efficiency and photosynthesis programs.
We've also seen some good yield bumps with their recommendations around grain fill stage in corn.
I finally had time to get some Fall Primer down with some good check strips so we'll see how that does.
All that said, AgriBio is also a really good company and might be priced a bit better for the standard row crop farmer.
