12 ways you can raise yields with more effective foliar sprays

Robust prices for corn, beans and wheat — but breathtaking costs for fertilizer and many crop protection products — create a powerful incentive for enhancing your foliar spray program with WakeUP.  April 29, 2021  The University of Nebraska’s Dr. Roch Gaussoin could be labeled the “dean” of foliar feeding. His staff researched this technology for years and found these foliar-feeding

Seven ways WakeUP enhances your in-furrow and foliar nutrient programs

In 2009, Renewable Farming LLC was the first to document how the colloidal micelle technology of WakeUP enhances foliar-sprayed nutrient absorption and translocation. Renewable Farming has proven this with hundreds of tissue tests and yield checks the past 10 years. Based on field research, we’ve built two unique formulations: WakeUP Spring accelerates root growth, and

Beware of a fatal flaw in some “Regenerative Farming” programs

It has taken 30 years, but major farm media are publishing excited reports on how healthier soil raises greater profits per acre. But many of these “sustainable” systems fail to deal with a critical vulnerability: Dependence on toxic weedkillers.  April 24, 2021 By Jerry Carlson   Consider this three-year comparison between conventional NPK-intensive farms and biologically focused crop rotation farms.

How to add $10 to $25 per acre profit this season — with WakeUP

Stronger new-crop grain prices make another 4 to 5 bu. per acre worth including $2 to $3.50 worth of WakeUP per acre. A decade of farmer experience with WakeUP shows this: If your in-furrow or foliar nutrients regularly enhance yield 5 bu. per acre, including WakeUP adds another 4 bu. yield because of increased nutrient absorption and crop metabolism.

An inexpensive way to protect your crops against dry weather this season

Profitable prices for corn, soybeans and wheat underscore the importance of high yields this season. But seasonal forecasts are raising the odds of a second year of dry-weather stress in the Upper Midwest. That stress could roll eastward into the eastern Corn Belt this summer.
