On Feb. 22 we listed a dozen reasons why living on your farm is the best location, and the best business, through the pandemic and intensifying cultural upheaval in America. Here’s another very specific benefit — let’s dub it our “Earth Day Special” since today is National Earth Day. April 22, 2021  When you’re out on […]

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. 

Dr. Joseph Mercola, America’s No. 1 online health advocate, is launching a broad-based campaign for “Regenerative Agriculture.” His alliance includes global activists for healthy agriculture such as India’s Vandana Shiva.  April 13, 2021 Dr. Mercola has repeatedly challenged the Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization about their Covid-19 mask mandates, lockdowns and urging global vaccines —

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. (See NOAH map below.)  April 7, 2021  The rising chance of June-August

Spraytec, a major Brazilian crop nutrition manufacturer, has invested years of experience overcoming Brazil’s mineral deficient soils. Now they’re offering a broad-spectrum mineral and biostimulant blend, Impulse, to help American farmers insure crops against hidden mineral hunger. Most Midwest soils are adequate in basic NPK, but often deficient in yield-limiting micronutrients such as boron, manganese or

Here’s where you can download and read the 2020 field test results of Vitazyme — probably the most thoroughly proven biostimulant in agriculture. In previous years, our Renewable Farming field trials have shown how WakeUP and Vitazyme work naturally together to boost yields 5%, 10% and sometimes more. April 2, 2021 For several years we’ve worked with

For 30 years I’ve encouraged Renewable Farming: a focus on biological products and cover crops to restore soil health, long-term yield gains and wider profit margins. March 31, 2021  By Jerry Carlson  I was enthused to see that Farm Journal’s March 29 e-mail, the Daily Scoop, featured an accurate overview of farmers’ successes with biological products and

Today, two stories popped up on my computer which coincided to dramatize how farm consolidation, technocracy and federal “help” are making farming less resilient and more stressful. March 28, 2021  By Jerry Carlson — Sunday. I’ve long resolved to avoid writing for our website on Sunday. But today, the Wall Street Journal bannered a feature by Jesse

  This brief report links you to a new 40-page Belize Ag Report, giving you a glimpse of fascinating farming diversity in Central America. Belize is the only Central American nation whose official language is English. A substantial number of American farmers have found that convenient — they’ve established farming operations in Belize.

A research-minded farmer sent us these photos of a winter corn-growing test with BioEnsure, a beneficial fungus organism which helps crops endure stress. He’s cautious about big conclusions from a small experiment, but two observations indicate that the BioEnsure endophyte, which lives inside the crop, does help against late, wet spring soil stress.
