Do your hay fields and pastures need a pick-me-up?

Sugar Creek Ag • October 2, 2025

EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic and Forage Factor 

are the products you need!

EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic will assist with root development and condition your soils to better utilize applied nutrients and those that may be tied up in your soils. It can also assist with moisture retention and compaction issues!


Forage Factor is a balanced 8-8-8 with 6 micronutrients. Micronutrients are often overlooked when managing hay fields and pastures. Deficiencies can be “hidden hungers,” and even though you don’t see them, they can be there and be a limiting factor to the results you want! The application of Forage Factor (with Boron, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Moly, and Zinc) can make a significant difference.

Applied together, EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic and Forage Factor are Farmer-Proven to be effective and give your hay fields and pastures the growth, density, and quality you want! Follow Sugar Creek Ag’s Facebook page for pictures and farmer feedback and testimonials.

To best answer this question, it helps to understand the process of humification. Humification is the natural conversion of organic matter into humic substances by microorganisms in the soil.
