Wrapped up soil sampling for the year this evening. Ended up covering just under 40K acres of new Baseline Rx. Very thankful for new business and the relationships I’ve built with some great people this past year!

Had a guy the other day reach and tell me that retail is running around saying that what we’re doing with Baseline and Next Level Ag labs isn’t “sustainable”. The same retailer recommends his growers use biology because the fertilizer is “tied up”.

@JasonSchley @kdroder I was going through some samples this morning and came across this. Heavily manured ground. All we did was pull back on applied nitrogen up front and total N and ran meltdown this spring. Yield also went up.

If that’s impossible, balance C:N with your first pass of N in the spring. Use a stress protective product for herbicides and make sure your not allowing nitrate build up early, so use the micros your missing. You guys do well at that, and understand it. But if nitrate is bottlenecked I don’t think you can build Weoc well in a cash crop.

I get asked a lot about WEOC vs OM. I even see some on here think it is close enough to OM, and no reason to test it…. It’s all the same etc. As you can see, in the real world, there is a small correlation but it is very weak. Personal experiences show that you can have 5% OM and 150 Weoc or you can have 1% OM and have 150 Weoc. This is the last 62,588 samples the lab ran. Definition of Weoc from Grok: This soluble carbon serves as a vital energy source for soil microbes, influencing biological activity, nutrient cycling, and overall soil health—higher levels often indicate improved fertility and microbial efficiency in agricultural systems. Does this not seem important to you? I feel if people understood it better they would focus on it. It’s the driver of a lot of the nutrient efficiencies or lack there of we see in ag.

@MasonClaude5 I agree with you on the traditional extracts but would not expect that for the xrfs! But thats why I work with you guys because you keep me on my toes lol I’ll start paying closer attention to that I’ve always overlooked it in the past.

@Kyle_Olson_ That and much more. But yes the higher Carbon soils have a high correlation to XRF ppm. No matter the carbon environment there’s no correlation of Olsen/Bray/AA ppm to yield

It’s rare you come across a field that hasn’t had one pound of p and k or manure for over 20 years. Coincidentally, zone 4’s are the highest areas on the yield productivity map and have been the highest producing which also means they are “removing” more lbs of fertilizer every year..the xrf value is showing that. Yet, they have the higher fertility levels. Both zones are low 5’s pH but the big difference is C-Sat and Vast are higher in 4 vs 1…higher yield = more WEOC = more nutrient cycling. This is a flat bottom farm but baseline still delineates the 1 vs 4. Water movement and accumulation is the main driver. This why i love baseline and our soil test.

@MasonClaude5 Are you saying higher xrf for higher yield environment/zone? Also are you guys planning on presenting any of the grain removal data at roadshow? I think that would be an eye opener!

@Kyle_Olson_ Funny enough I’ve seen a better correlation of XRF data to yield depending on the carbon environment.

I’ve seen some of that data and I agree the healthier and more efficient the plant the less lbs per bushel. That’s why I put “removal” lol but I still believe there’s a difference in the xrf from many years of that zone out producing. I could be wrong on that and it could be a coincidence but makes sense to me.

@Kyle_Olson_ Awesome comparison Kyle! We’ve noticed that the highest yielding area will typically have the lowest removal. Efficient plants will produce more carbohydrates which make up 96% of a kernel!

Trying something new (and nerve wracking) to share my passion for all things soil fertility and plant nutrition. I’m on a mission to challenge “the way we have always done it” and help growers and other business owners move the needle on family farms today in a purposeful way. If you feel compelled, give the first two episodes (and the trailer) a listen! Likes, shares, comments, questions are welcomed! Available today (LAUNCH DAY) on Apple or Spotify!

@MikeFoley781 @chaserp1 @Dirt_2_Dollars @bw_fusion @Agronomy365 Going back to characterizing zones based on biological activity and nutrient interactions. This farm is a good example and shows the consistency from zone to zone. Nutrient efficiency will vary greatly from a zone 1 to zone 5. C-Sat = WEOC/CEC.

Time and time again. The consistency of these samples is incredible. Your grids are mixing all of this together or completely missing it in general. #baselineRx #agronomy365

@Kyle_Olson_ @chaserp1 @Dirt_2_Dollars @bw_fusion @Agronomy365 Educate me if you don't mind. If I understand that map, you have 5 zones. How do you take the physical samples? Do you sample 1 red zone for example and let it represent them all, or do you pull cores from multiple reds and combine them?

That’s true we could increase the number of Baseline zones up to probably however many zones we’d like with the layers I’m assuming but you have to keep it cost effective and applicable with equipment. We like to manage on soil type and water flow because it characterizes zones based on overall nutrient release whether that’s biological activity or nutrient interactions. Soil is dynamic and changing by the second so we try and sample based on the most consistent and most influential drivers of the system. Even with 5 zones I still see very good resolution and results moving from zone to zone especially with pH in my area. I can move from a zone 1 and run mid 7’s on pH and get to a zone 2 and it’s in the 6’s almost to the line based on the sampling I’ve done. That’s going to affect the previous two drivers I mentioned earlier.

@chaserp1 @Dirt_2_Dollars @Kyle_Olson_ @bw_fusion @Agronomy365 Sure, but given what we know, and don't know, about soil dynamics regarding fertility, and taking into account modern application equipment, at one point does it become TMI for something that we really can't do anything with? You can't spread half acre grids.

You’re right you don’t need to trial it but you do need to make sure it’s going to be a return on your investment. Here’s a situation where a grower was told he needed 200 lbs of MAP from his fertilizer dealer. We ended up doing 0 lbs and still hit his yield goal. But without the test how would you know without trialing? Would the unneeded fertilizer then be classified as snake oil? Why people fail with biology is because they are making decisions off the wrong soil metrics or no metrics at all.

Does BW still require NDAs for trials?
Jason Schley@JasonSchley

I get asked often who is BW Fusion and why did you choose to work with them? Let me explain… At BW Fusion, our only goal is getting farming RIGHT—for this year’s crop, for the soil, and for the next generation of crops and farmers (the reason for the investment into agronomy 365). The owners committed that to me before I started. The lab, (NLAg) does a ton of research, but it’s a small company that can only invest so much and keep the doors open. So I decided what is best for my life long dreams of agronomy was to team up with a company that cares, and with people I knew and trusted. Our agronomy team absolutely drives me, they could chase bigger paychecks elsewhere. We stay together because we love / respect each other, respect/ appreciate our growers, and we chase the same goals: proving what truly works in the field and can create consistent ROI. We want to be remembered by the movement of improving Ag not just being happy with the status quo! We fund our own NPK trials… even though we (BW) don’t sell a single pound of fertilizer. Why? Before we can improve Someone has to question the “that’s how we’ve always done it” answers we’ve all accepted. As an agronomy team this drives us to be better for our growers and to work hard for the company that allows us to learn more, especially knowing the dollar they spent doesn’t equate to a sale but in trust by the farmer and the long term growth of our company depends on that. We focus on an Agronomy message and not just selling the magic in a jug, it’s a systems approach of finding what is truly limiting your efficiency and ROI. The magic in the jug supports the resolution to the problem we uncover and the future of learning more. Half of what we learned in school is right. The rest is waiting to be discovered—we know we can’t do it alone but as team and with the right partners and customers we can do this together. Growers and agronomists: if you’re done with the status-quo advice and ready to dig deeper into real yield + real soil and tissue knowledge, let’s talk. We don’t know it all / don’t claim to and that’s the fun part, the more of you that join us in learning will continue to push the curve higher. I’ve learned more from agronomists and farmers than any and all books could ever teach you. We’re small. We’re stubborn. We’re in it to win it, with you! Learn together. Grow together. 🤝 BIG AG does not own Ag, they only have the upper hand. Sign a field up for baseline Rx, and let us prove we out care the competition. And to the people that have helped us get here w/ support & knowledge - Thank You!! We get nearly 80,000 new acres a month which proves the systems approach has found success.

@_TheMizzouTiger @braunfarm Does your fertilizer dealer let you try before you buy? Same concept really lol auditing products is a good thing and you’re right to do that but let’s have the same approach with fertilizer as well.

@Kyle_Olson_ @braunfarm I tried to get pivot bio to do some trialing with Me. Even offered to pay. They declined. I find it very odd that foofoo dealers don’t want to do try before you buy. I’ll likely get all three products and do my own work. FWIW I do trialing an consulting as well as farm.

No offense but I will never give away product for a trial. If you’re interested in learning and doing a trial I want you to have some skin in the game. I tested GroPak AI and BioBoost across a lot of acres this year split planter on corn. The response was bigger on hybrids that had more stress this year. Channel 213-19 was a 13 bushel difference. Channel 209-70 was maybe 3-5 bushel difference. So I think the year you have and hybrid affects the response of BB. It’s more of a tool for me to deploy the 401 team into my system if I don’t have in furrow on the planter. The yield is a plus.

I think a lot of us get wrapped up in the branding or who people are affiliated with or the products they sell. I’ve said this before but I want to work with people more than products. The products will be there when you have the right people. At some point you have to find a team that you can trust that will help you find success in a changing and challenging industry. I know there are other good biologicals and nutritional products out there but I have the most confidence in our approach by implementing products into a fertility management program. You can use all the biologicals or carbon sources you want but if you don’t measure and manage certain soil metrics correctly, it’s hard to move the needle in the right direction. BaselineRx alone without products is the best fertility management program out there. It truly is going to change our industry for the better. I’ve seen it, all of us who believe in what we’re doing have seen it. You don’t have to be all in, but take a step and do one farm. Get a good resource to help you get started, have an open mind about what you’re going to hear, and then take time to truly learn the soil test and how everything relates. If you do that, I promise you that you will never go back to looking at soil the same.
