We’re working closely with longterm WakeUP users as they refine their 2018 crop budget spreadsheets. The main opportunity they’re pursuing: Shift dollars from “traits” and NPK into biologicals, biostimulants and a rebuilding of soil health. Work with nature, instead of attacking it with toxic technology. A good example is our report near this one, where no-tiller Scott Odle

You can watch a webinar (linked below) which opens a refreshing new concept in soil health: Every nutrient transfer of crop growth relies on the flow of carbon-containing compounds. Ease the flow, raise the yield. Feb. 10, 2018   By Jerry Carlson — The “flow” message comes from Dr. Jennifer Moore-Kucera, soil health team leader at USDA’s West Region

At the conclusion of the Agrienergy Resources seminar in Des Moines today, key staff person Mardel Robinson noted that this day marks exactly 22 years since the unexpected death of AgriEnergy founder Dave Larson.  Feb. 8, 2018  By Jerry Carlson — Today’s seminar, and the one just preceding it in Indiana, are a tribute to Dave’s intellect

If you have a little time to scan though a video recording of a Feb. 6 hearing by the Committee on Science, Space & Technology of the U.S. House of Representatives, you may come away with more determination than ever to protect the health of your family from potential glyphosate toxicity, you’ll have to rely on your own analysis and

Here’s a link to an idea-packed PowerPoint by Dr. Joel Gruver, Western Illinois University Associate Professor of Soil Science. He presented it at the Feb. 1 Organic Grains Conference in Champaign, IL.  Yes — an organic conference right in the realm of the University of Illinois.  Feb. 5, 2018 — Dr. Gruver has packed into one presentation

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

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
