"By utilizing a spray thine, every square inch is ing the same results, brm growth and uniform ; Besides providing the sprajdng system, WildHawk strives to be a full service center for cranberry growers. During July, Hawk is out taking soil and plant samples for his clients. The samples are sent to an independent laboratory that analyzes them for strengths and deficiencies. Plant food recommendations based on standards established by the University of Wisconsin/ Madison Horticultural Depart- ment are then drawn up for the individual growers. These guidelines help the grower and WildHawk to work up a fertilizer program designed to meet his particular needs. "This way we put on only plant food that's needed," said Hawk. Supplier for Wildhawk is Hartung Brothers, specialists in manufacturing fluid suspension fertilizers, which are custom mixed according to recommen- dations for each bed. WildHawk also sells manufac- tured dry fertilizers and chemicals geared to the cranberry industry. In operation now, too, is Hawk's own laboratory, set up in his office, which enables him to do on site plant tissue analysis for major plant nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potash and sulfur. "A grower will have the results in about 30 minutes," said Hawk. 7. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images tha
