“I stumbled on TM (in 2015) and it has done a wonderful job on improving the soil biology.”
-Terry Blanch-
Report Summary
Terry Blanch, a farmer in drought-stricken northern NSW, has achieved remarkable results with his wheat and alfalfa crops by utilising a prebiotic bio-stimulant, BEST TM Agricultural (TM Ag). Blanch discovered TM Ag in 2015 and credits it with significantly improving soil biology. The enhanced soil health, evident in improved soil structure and increased crop resilience to drought, has allowed Blanch to reduce fertiliser use by 30% and eliminate the need for fungicides. Before adopting TM Ag, Blanch treated his wheat with red pickle, and fungicide applications were routinely required. Since introducing TM Ag, these treatments are no longer necessary, resulting in significant savings on chemicals, labour, and equipment costs. By replacing harmful chemicals with the environmentally friendly and safe TM Ag, Blanch has also alleviated concerns about worker safety. Blanch happily said “I have never used pickle on any grain since and it is all TM treated with no issues or disease’’.
The improved quality of his alfalfa stand has earned Blanch recognition in the Top 100 for Meat Standards Australia, attributed to enhanced live-weight gains and better cattle health. TM Ag aligns with Blanch’s vision for sustainable farming, delivering consistent benefits while reducing environmental impact. Justifying the profitability of TM Ag, Blanch states, “The benefits are tenfold, and you get it back over and over again – it’s like a silent achiever.” This case study underscores the potential of TM Ag prebiotic bio-stimulants to improve crop quality, enhance soil health, and advance sustainable agricultural practices.
