This Thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to appreciate the farmers who work hard to put food on our tables. Every meal we enjoy—from turkey to veggies—comes from their dedication and care for the land. We are grateful for the long hours they spend, rain or shine, to bring us fresh food. Let’s also remember the importance of sustainable practices that protect our soil, water, and communities for future generations. By supporting local farmers and sustainable agriculture, we contribute to a healthier planet. Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving filled with good food, family, and gratitude! #Thanksgiving #SupportLocalFarmers

PhycoTerra® and oranges; a perfect fit! Our Agronomy Technician, Katy Summers conducted a field trial in Venus Florida on Valencia Oranges where PhycoTerra® our Soil Amendment was applied four times at 2 quarts per acre. The mid-season observations included: • Healthier, more vigorous, and uniform tree growth • PhycoTerra® fruit are larger with an average diameter of 76mm compared to grower standard fruit at 68mm. The final harvest will be in spring, 2025. Stay tuned for more results then! #orangeharvest #floridaoranges #soilhealth #agriculture #farmforever

Check out these results from a late-season trial in Mississippi led by our Regional Sales Manager, Bart Jenkins In the photo, the treated area is in the back, and the difference is clear—great stress mitigation under tough conditions! PhycoTerra® FX our foliar treatment is a phenomenal solution for growers. PhycoTerra® FX is used at a low rate and works great in a grower’s existing tank mix. #PhycoTerra #StressMitigation #AgTech #Mississippi

Thank you, Heliae Development, LLC ! We recently had the opportunity to tour Heliae’s Facility in Gilbert, Arizona and were impressed by both the team and their operations. After some promising field trials with our products in 2024, we’re excited to continue building on this momentum with more trials in 2025. Looking forward to the next visit Dustin Blunier and Bruce McTavish ! #sustainability #biologicals #agtech Joshua Day Chief Ashley Day Chief hal Reed Daniel Wevers

Excited to share some research photos from Qualls Agricultural Laboratory in Ephrata, Washington, one of our valued CROs! 📸 These images capture various stages of potato growth, showcasing the hard work and dedication behind agricultural research. Shoutout to our Field Trial Research Manager, Ling "Lottie" Ou, Ph.D. for supplying the info! #AgriculturalResearch #CRO #PotatoGrowth

Water is essential, but it’s also one of agriculture’s biggest challenges. But here’s a solution: improving your soil’s health can make it more resilient to both droughts and floods. Potatoes are especially vulnerable. The large tubers actually decrease the amount of root surface area compared to other plants. Thus, improved water holding capacity and better soil health can have a giant impact on their productivity. Healthy soil holds water better and makes nutrients available for crops. U.S. potato growers who focused on soil health saw a yield increase of 49 CWT/acre and an ROI of 15:1! Here’s how to build better water-holding capacity: Structure: Healthy soil aggregates help water and nutrients reach roots effectively. Drainage & Aeration: Proper drainage prevents nutrient loss; good aeration supports roots. Moisture & pH Balance: Improving moisture availability and optimizing pH can boost nutrient uptake. Microbes are key! Let’s support healthier, more resilient crops, starting with the soil. #FarmForever #SoilHealth #PotatoFarming https://hubs.la/Q02X0vhv0

Happy Veterans Day! Today, we want to take a moment to celebrate and thank all the amazing men and women who have served our country. Your courage and dedication are truly inspiring. Many veterans find a second home in agriculture, using their skills to grow food and support local communities. Whether working the land or tending to livestock, their hard work helps feed us all and strengthens our connections to the earth. Let’s honor our veterans today by appreciating their sacrifices and the contributions they continue to make in our farms and communities. A simple “thank you” can mean a lot! Thank you for your service, and enjoy this special day! #VeteransDay #ThankAVet

Imagine bringing skilled helpers onto your farm who could boost germination, enhance soil structure, protect crops from stress, and reduce crop residue—all at once. Seems too good to be true? It’s possible! There are billions of helpful microbes already on your farm, ready to support soil health, crop resilience, and yield potential—they just need a nutritious meal to get them working for your farm. Read our latest blog about how every farm is impacted by four crucial biological "spheres": the spermosphere, rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and detritusphere. Supporting beneficial microbes leads to reduced abiotic stress, healthier soil, healthier crops and greater yield potential. https://hubs.la/Q02W_wB70 #FarmForever #Microbiomes #CropScience #FarmManagement

Our Senior Agronomist Dustin Blunier has been gathering key field and harvest data in our Grower Advisory Panel GAP trials. One exciting breakthrough this season is seeing and detecting plant health benefits from PhycoTerra® treatments. As crops approached late season development and maturity, NDVI and EVI imagery showed a noticeable difference between treatments. Ground truthing validated treatments with PhycoTerra® staying greener and healthier through the critical final weeks of grain fill. In this field image, PhycoTerra® Soil Amendment treatment was applied just due north of the pivot, while PhycoTerra® FX (our Foliar Treatment) was applied on the far southern side of the pivot. With both treatments, the resulting healthier plants stayed greener, longer into the fall. What have you been seeing in your fields this season? Contact us for more insights on how PhycoTerra® can make a difference in your crop health and yield. #FarmForever #SoilHealth #CropHealth
