You might find folks who will test your product but if they don't do it halfway scientifically (according to a uniform construct) then you're just wasting your time, effort, and money. IMO to do that, you need to get independent people involved to insure that things are done accordingly. Trusting it all to a farmer (big or small operation does not matter) is a mistake. When you say lab testing doesn't mean anything to farmers, well you're certainly not farming around here. We're not a bunch of bumpkins hitchin' the mule to the plow and prayin' for the crops. Farming is a combination of business, science, and luck. The more of the first two that you use, the less you need of the third. Having said all of that, put yourself in the shoes of a farmer who has no lab or certifiable results re. ThermoPotash. Your distributor has it and it's available at a real good price. Do you risk your growing season and the expense of all that diesel and equipment wear and tear that you will use/realize in the land prep and planting - not to mention the price of seed - on a pig in a poke? Or do you go with 'ol tried and true? Farming is very time dependent - you can't add a shift to make up for lost production and no farmer in his/her right mind will risk a growing season for a pig in a poke. The folks at Amazon are hopefully coming up with an approach to testing the efficacy of their product that is/will be halfway scientific. I hold a bunch of shares, if I could vote them on the issue, I'd vote that they get in touch with the best AG school in Brazil and do it sooner rather than later. Another half-baked press release announcing that nothing was as good as anything is not going to sell fertilizer.
