With preparations for the 2025 season underway, we’re exploring more creative solutions to crop nutrition. Farmers have always been resourceful—repurposing items like coffee cans, twine, wire, and boards. Innovation thrives in machine sheds across the country, and now it’s time to take that ingenuity to the field. Let’s talk about reusing the nutrients locked up in residue. By utilizing EXCAVATOR and CYCLESTRIKE, you can break down those nutrients and reuse the fertilizer you’ve already paid for in previous seasons. Reach out to us to learn how you can take advantage of the nutrients in your fields for a more sustainable and productive 2025 season. #AmplifyAgIL #SustainableFarming #SoilHealth #CropNutrition #FarmingInnovation #RegenerativeAg #AmplifyAg #FarmSolutions #AgTech #HealthySoil

Have you ever driven past a snow-covered field in January and wondered what’s happening beneath that icy blanket? While it looks like the land is “on pause,” winter conditions are actively reshaping the soil’s physical and biological health. Here’s how: ❄️ Freeze-Thaw Cycles: As temperatures swing above and below freezing, tiny ice crystals form and melt in the soil. This natural action gently loosens compacted soil, improving its structure and helping it hold moisture and nutrients more effectively. 🦠 Organic Matter Breakdown: Even in the cold, microbial life doesn’t stop. Slow but steady microbial activity continues to break down crop residue, recycling nutrients that will be ready to support spring planting. 💧 Moisture Recharge: Winter snow and early spring thaws help replenish soil moisture. This replenishment is critical for starting the growing season on the right foot—ensuring seedlings have the water they need to thrive. 🌾 Winter Cover Crops: Some farmers use this dormant season strategically. Cover crops sown in the fall help protect against erosion, add organic matter, and even scavenge leftover nutrients, setting the stage for healthier, more productive soils come planting time. While winter may look like an “off” season, it’s actually a subtle stage of renewal. Understanding how winter influences the soil allows growers to make better management decisions—and helps us all appreciate the silent, steady resilience of Midwest agriculture. #AmplifyAgIL #MidwestAgriculture #SoilHealth #WinterSoils #SustainableFarming #FreezeThawCycles #CoverCrops #SoilScience #HealthySoil #FarmLife #RegenerativeAg #WinterFarming #SoilRenewal #AgEducation #MicrobialActivity

With more and more questions about root worm control we believe diversity is the key. That’s why we have an approach that includes: -Pre-season testing -Hybrid selection based on testing and previous years experience -Various seed treatment/in-furrow options -In season monitoring -In season application There is no one size fits all approach to protecting against this pest and it’s going to continue to evolve. But being flexible and having multiples methods have provided the best control. We are so excited to have Guard X in our tool box for another level of protection and a super easy application method that works in any operation. Let us know if you’d like some more information about this great product! #Agronomy #CornRootWorm #Meristem #CropProtection #AmplifyAgIL
