Eating right can help you plant hard today, and hard again, tomorrow. The information in this package is based on sound principles of sports nutrition. You may not be running a race, but you are putting your body through the same sort of challenge — day after day.

Eating right can help you do more than survive the season. It can help you stay strong and make money. That's what you want, right?

Planters work at the phenomenal work rate of 6 hours/day spent between 60-75% of maximal heart rate, day after day, all season long. It takes a lot of energy to work that hard, females burn up about 4000 kcal/day, males consume about 5000 kcal/day.
