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…

Every farmer wants higher yields, healthier plants, and better margins. But the ultimate goal? A system that sustains itself.  That’s what regenerative agriculture—and especially mycorrhizal fungi—can help achieve. At Farm Fungi, we’ve worked with growers who, after several seasons of using our mycorrhizal inoculants and adopting soil-friendly practices, no longer need to reapply our product.…

Every farmer has been pitched a magic bullet. So it’s no surprise that many growers are cautious when they first hear about mycorrhizal fungi. But unlike unproven additives, the benefits of these fungi aren’t based on hype—they’re rooted in real field data.  In 2022, a detailed trial conducted near Wood River, Nebraska by soils consultant…

Yield isn’t just about genetics or fertilizer. It’s about root access—to moisture, nutrients, and microbial allies that make those inputs count. In modern corn systems, root health is the most overlooked factor in maximizing both productivity and profitability.  Mycorrhizal fungi—nature’s underground network—are proving to be a game-changer in boosting root structure, nutrient absorption, and stress…

Farmers across North America are dealing with a growing problem they didn’t create—and often can’t see. Compacted ground, crusted surfaces, falling yields, and mounting input costs are symptoms of a deeper issue: biological collapse in the soil.  For over a century, conventional practices—deep tillage, excessive synthetic fertilizer use, and repeated chemical applications—have stripped soils of…
