One highlight of our seminar season has always been the AgriEnergy Resources winter meetings. Their upcoming sessions in Indianapolis Feb. 6 and Des Moines Feb. 8 focus on some of the most important crop challenges today. Jan. 25, 2018 — The flyer posted below lists the subjects and two of the main presenters. The conference will cover […]

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

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

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

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

That headline is a repeat of an analysis we published more than two years ago, on Sept. 4, 2015. Although the current cold snap will undoubtedly be blamed on warming from carbon dioxide or other taxable notions, evidence keeps piling up that the power of long-term solar cycles holds the greatest agricultural significance. Jan. 1,

I grew up on a farm in southwest Iowa and attended the one-room Franklin Grove School, where the kids all sang Christmas songs before Christmas vacation. One of those was the “12 Days of Christmas.” Only this Christmas did I learn the encoded Biblical meanings of the symbolism described in the true lover’s gifts. I thought

The first replicated corn yield trial we’ve seen with calcium silicate from the Redox company showed a 30-bu. average yield gain: 266 bu. for treated plots versus 236 for the check plots. See the table below. Dec. 27, 2017 — This is also the first time we’ve seen a product which combines calcium and silica

This is one of those cornfield trials where we wish there’d been random-rep, statistically significant data. But the visual evidence on the combine yield monitor image is so dramatic we feel it’s rational to report. December 20, 2017 — The photo of the combine monitor’s yield map (shown below) reveals a bold band of almost
