Due to climate change, the past few years have brought unstable weather to previously reliable farming areas worldwide.

Strawberry growers at Oxnard Farms in California experienced minor frost for three days in March 2012 while participating in a Vitality Technologies study. After the frost, all the Control strawberries were wilted and had no taste – a complete write-off. Miraculously, the Vitality Technologies-treated berries retained their superb taste with no white shoulders and continued to be saleable after being picked.

Vitality Technologies partnered with a Swancy Farm in N. Georgia and Southern Poultry Research Inc. were interested in the fantastic effects of Vitality Technologies on poultry.
