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

New USDA/ARS research on soil health shows “Soil microbial diversity based on polyphasic microbial analysis was restored by Vitazyme in soils planted to maize and soybean treated with glyphosate. A high microbial diversity is essential to maintain a stable ecosystem and crop productivity.” Dec. 18, 2017 — Field trials in 2014-17 by Ag Research Service scientists based

We’re working for “clearance” to report how dairymen in more than a dozen states are converting to non-GMO corn, soybeans and grass forages — and seeing net profit per lactating cow rise by as much as $1,000 a year. Somatic cell counts drop. Cow life extends from a U.S. average of less than two lactations to five,

Renewable Farming team member Blake Carlson returned from the Bionutrient Food Association’s “7th Annual Soil & Nutrition Conference” in Southbridge, Massachusetts, loaded with ideas on improving soil health and human nutrition.  Dec. 8, 2017   By Jerry Carlson — One of the most significant conference themes was how the blend of microbial communities impacts total nutrient uptake

Video cameras on every smartphone and direct links to the internet bring you the power to literally show millions of people worldwide what you’re learning. When a video “goes viral,” it can multiply to millions of viewers in a global flood that no government or mainstream media gatekeeper can spike. This power is amplifying video stories published
