Early spring gives you another opportunity to spray crop residue digester

This morning, our Renewable Farming team met with four agronomists who have substantial experience with the Biodyne USA residue digestion products on Iowa and Minnesota crops. These are Environoc 401 for in-furrow application and Environoc 501 for broadcast spray. Jan 30, 2018 — As these experts analyze 2017 field data and monitor stalk decomposition in overwintering cornfields, we’re seeing […]

Vitazyme study indicates it’s helpful in restoring soil microbial diversity

Research by Agricultural Reseach Service scientists at the University of Missouri has shown that the biostimulant Vitazyme is effective for restoring microbial diversity of soils which have populations of bacteria and fungi seriously distorted by accumulated glyphosate. Jan. 25, 2018 — Dr. Robert Kremer, one of the chief scientists for this research, was among the first

40 bu. more corn from three synergistic in-furrow products. Cost: $17 an acre

Gil Farley, president of the Indiana-based firm Biodyne Midwest, sent us combine monitor maps showing an array of eight corn yield results from in-furrow corn trials, which we summarized in the chart below. Jan. 20, 2018 — Bottom line: Tank-mixing Biodyne’s in-furrow biological, Environoc 401C, with WakeUP Spring and the biostimulant Vitazyme led to a 40-bu. gain

Here’s a $44 per acre yield benefit — for a $14 per acre investment

An in-furrow liquid delivery system on your planter is a yield-enhancing essential for the upcoming “biological age” of crop production. As we start 2018, less than one row-crop farmer in 10 equips his planter with an in-furrow setup. That needs to change, fast. Jan. 18, 2018 — Right now is an ideal time to fire up the furnace in

As we start our 10th year with WakeUP, former clients are returning

Cheap grain is encouraging farmers to include only the safe, reliable yield enhancers in 2018 crop budgets. Farmers who used WakeUP several years ago are calling us to check our WakeUP price for 2018.  An Ohio farmer who bought several totes of WakeUP a few years ago says, “The past three or four seasons, I was coaxed into trying new

The Purdue professor heard ’round the world

We’re honoring Dr. Don Huber as a “Hero of Renewable Farming” for his decades of courage, intellect and hard work. He’s traveling worldwide, urging farmers and fellow scientists to focus on crop nutrition — not GMOs and their related toxins — as the foundation for global health. Our admiration extends back many years. Dr. Huber’s influence among farmers continues growing, despite sometimes-furious
