We haven’t found the freezing point for WakeUP — because we haven’t found anyplace cold enough to solidify it. Last night, January 9, the low here in northeast Iowa was 8 degrees below zero, and we left a couple of WakeUP formulations outside on a snowbank to see if the liquid concentrate would stiffen up.  […]

Back in 2008, we thought the primary use of WakeUP was to spray it on corn at the two-leaf stage, encouraging a vigorous root system by mobilizing extra sugars to the root. That still works — but we’ve learned that new formulations of WakeUP “amplify” benefits of many foliar and ground-applied nutrients too. Farmers alerted

More than 30 years ago, AgriEnergy Resources founder Dave Larson told farmer seminars that the most important quality of a fertile soil is “the greatest number and variety of microbial life.” Now the “big six” ag chemical and seed companies are launching mega-million-dollar research projects to identify (and most likely patent) the most effective microbes

An old friend just sent us a new and encouraging report which underscores the resurgence of farmer interest in non-GMO seed. And it’s refreshing to know that not all small seed firms have been “Deep Sixed” by the major seed/chemical multinationals.  Dick Hagen, a native Minnesotan with an accent to match, was a colleague editor back

If the current El Niño fades and reverses normally to its opposite cycle, the 2016 growing season in the Midwest will likely start wet and end with a dry autumn. Just how early the dryness sets in can’t be predicted. But the safest crop management strategy is to plan for it — and look for every

As WakeUP sales grow, we’re able to negotiate volume pricing on our ingredients — and we’re passing along our savings to you. The in-season price for WakeUP Spring and Summer will be only $90 per gallon — a $15 per gallon price cut from the past two seasons. It’s another benefit to you from the efficiencies and savings we’ve been able to offer since

The corn yield champions emphasize uniform, vigorous emergence as a foundation for reaching maximum genetic potential. And one of our favorite “encouragers” for boosting that seedling is an in-furrow blend of nutrients and stimulants which serves as a kind of “colostrum” for the first roots and shoots. Evidence of such a combination shows up in

One of the best-attended winter seminars offered by ecology-minded consulting firms is the one sponsored by AgriEnergy Resources since the late 1980s.  Here’s their detailed announcement, e-mailed to clients today: “Where did 2015 go? Seems like just yesterday we were preparing for our annual, winter seminar “How to Thrive in Today’s Ag Economy – 10 Practical, Profitable Solutions”  and
