Every farmer knows the fear of drought. The sky clouds over, the rain never comes, and the sun bakes the fields. No matter how good your seed, how well-timed your nitrogen, or how carefully you manage your pivots; drought stress can slash your yield and wreck your ROI. But some corn plants handle it better.…

Every farmer wants the same things: healthy crops, strong roots, good market prices, and bins full of grain after harvest. But with challenging weather patterns, rising input costs, and stressed-out soils, hitting those targets takes more than seed and fertilizer, it takes biology. That’s where arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF) come in. These naturally occurring soil organisms…

For generations, tillage has been a trusted practice. It breaks up compaction, buries residue, and creates a clean seedbed. But beneath the surface, there’s a hidden cost. Each time we disturb the soil, we disrupt its microbial life and some of the most beneficial organisms we’re destroying are arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF). These fungi aren’t just…

If you’re a farmer watching your input costs rise every season, you’re not alone. Fertilizer prices have surged in recent years, driven by global supply chain issues, rising natural gas prices, and tightening regulations. In 2022 alone, nitrogen fertilizer prices in the U.S. spiked by over 80% in some regions, with phosphate and potash not…

Inconsistent rainfall and increasing summer heat are pressing challenges for every grower. Whether you’re in a dryland corn system or irrigating in high-evaporation zones, your yield depends on how well your crops can access water—not just at the surface, but deep in the soil profile.  That’s where mycorrhizal fungi make their biggest impact. By supporting…

Fertilizer isn’t cheap—and it’s not getting cheaper. From global supply shocks to increased nitrogen restrictions, farmers are stuck in a costly cycle. But what if the real issue isn’t how much fertilizer you use—but how much your plants actually access?  That’s where mycorrhizal fungi come in. By restoring the natural microbial systems that enhance nutrient…
