copper deficiency??

[Roll farms]

I've been giving copper sulfate for a couple of years, the difference is NOW I have a guideline to go by (because of the article) instead of just 'guessing' what amount to use.
Previously I was adding it to the drinking water 1x a month.

Long story short, a friend of mine in MI told me "I cleared our copper deficiency problems up w/ copper sulfate." So I tried it.

I can definitely see a difference / improvement.

I'm interested to see what effect it has on HC loads when drenched. According to the article I read, it can reduce up to 70% of the worm load.

Not saying it's THE way, or even a GOOD way. And I'm definitely not advocating it's use....just throwing it out there for informational purposes.
But if folks didn't try new things / methods and see how it goes, we'd never get anywhere.

I think it is great that you are trying it out and letting us know. We need to find other alternatives to Ivomec and Safeguard, etc. I really think we are going to have to get more and more creative and try more and more new things.
