Soil Health Is in Crisis — And Farmers Are Paying the Price
Farmers across the Midwest are feeling the strain as rising input costs and declining soil health push agriculture to a breaking point. This article explores how decades of industrial practices have damaged soil biology—and why regenerative strategies offer a path back to profitability and resilience
Don’t Believe These 7 Myths About Conventional Hybrids
Many growers are discovering that modern conventional hybrids can match traited varieties in yield and ear quality while saving hundreds per bag. On‑farm comparisons showed conventional seed delivering similar stay‑green performance, weed control, and insect tolerance when paired with sound management. Combining expert hybrid selection, reduced tillage, cover crops, and biologicals produces lower input costs and stronger ROI without sacrificing performance.
Use the Haney Test to Unlock Free Fertilizer in Your Fields – Part 2
Want to apply less nitrogen without hurting your ROI? The Haney test helps farmers unlock free nutrients already in their soil by measuring microbial activity—something conventional tests miss.
“Plants prefer organic nitrogen,” says soil scientist Liz Haney. “They use it more efficiently.”
With Haney test insights, growers are applying as little as 0.6 to 0.9 lbs of N per acre and still maintaining yields. Add EnSoil Algae to feed soil microbes and boost nutrient cycling even further.
Treating Manure for Better Fertilizer – A smarter Way to Farm
With fertilizer prices rising and nutrient losses adding up, untreated manure pits are a missed opportunity. This blog explores how biological treatments—especially those featuring purple sulfur bacteria—can stabilize nitrogen and sulfur, reduce odor, and boost the fertilizer value of manure. Learn why managing your pit with biology, not just chemistry, is the smarter way to farm.
Use the Haney Test to Unlock Free Fertilizer in Your Fields – Part 1
What if your soil already has the nutrients your crops need—but they’re just locked up? The Haney Test helps uncover those hidden reserves by measuring biological activity and nutrient availability in real time. It’s a powerful tool for reducing input costs, improving soil health, and making smarter fertility decisions. Learn how this test can reveal “free fertilizer” already working beneath your feet.
Reasons to try Soft Rock Phosphate
Unlocking Soil Potential with Soft Rock Phosphate
SRP isn’t just another phosphate product—it’s a biologically activated, slow-release mineral that feeds your soil and your crops over time. With a rich blend of calcium, silica, and trace minerals, SRP supports microbial activity, improves soil structure, and enhances nutrient cycling for long-term fertility. Whether you’re focused on regenerative practices or boosting yields sustainably, SRP offers a smart, soil-friendly solution that works with nature—not against it.
Better Forage
When input costs rise, it’s tempting to cut corners—especially on mineral supplements. But what if you could grow more nutrient-dense forage that naturally supports animal health and performance?
Focus on Foliar Feeding
Foliar Feeding: A Biological Edge for Corn and Soybeans
Tired of relying on fungicides and insecticides to protect yields? Discover how ProfitProAG’s foliar feeding strategies—featuring BioEnergy™+, BioImpact+, and EnSoil Algae™—are helping farmers like the Hendersons control disease and pests naturally while boosting plant health. With targeted applications at key growth stages, foliar feeding supports greener, more resilient crops and better yield potential without compromising soil biology.
Supercharge Your Soil with Algae
Live-cell green algae is one of the hottest new technologies helping top growers get more from their acres. “It’s all about harnessing the power of life in your soil to drive production,” said Tucker Garrigan, director of sales and partner development for Enlightened Soil Corp, which is teaming up with ProfitProAG to distribute EnSoil Algae™. “Algae has been around since life began on this planet, but we’re talking about it in a new way.”
