Universities have proven growers get 20–40 cents back on every fertility dollar spent. Over-application isn't the answer. It makes the system worse. Jason Schley broke down the fix at Commodity Classic 2026. 30 minutes. Worth every one of them. youtu.be/SEpe15Hbe2w

After a week at Commodity Classic one this is glaring to me…. If you’re going to stand for something in agriculture, you better be ready to catch hell for it! Progress has never asked for permission from the incumbents. Ag is changing. Not because it’s trendy. Not because someone needed a new buzzword. It’s changing because technology, innovation, and data are forcing it to change. Financial pressure is demanding efficiency. The facts are reshaping the way we farm whether people are comfortable with it or not. And here’s the hard truth: the loudest resistance usually comes from those most invested in the way it used to be. But comfort is not a strategy. If you believe in better processes, better agronomy, better economics for the farmer: Promote it. Talk about it. Build around it. Even when it’s unpopular. Especially when it’s unpopular! Because meaningful change in agriculture has always been led by those willing to take the criticism first. The question isn’t whether the industry will evolve. It’s whether you’ll have the conviction to evolve with it! bwfusion.com #thisishowwefarmnow

Talc and graphite were great… 20 years ago. Today’s high-value seed deserves better. BioBoost™ gives you clean lubricity, consistent singulation, activated biology, and real yield gains, all without the dust, the mess, or the microbial kill. 🌱 +6.2 bu corn 🌱 +3.6 bu soybeans 🌱 One-pass simple #trustthedust To get BioBoost in your lineup, send us a DM or visit our website to learn more.

We may not know what the next season holds, but one thing’s certain: you were built for this.

Carbon and Phosphorus When I think about phosphorus in the soil, I don’t actually start with phosphorus. I start with carbon. Because WEOC (Water Extractable Organic Carbon) is what sets the whole system in motion. When WEOC goes up, biological activity goes up. Microbes go to work and the soil goes from chemistry-driven to biology-driven. The biological activity drives P availability. This is the cycle. And all of it starts with WEOC. When considering fertility management, the wrong first question is: “How much P should I apply?” The best first question is: “What is my WEOC?” How much carbon is freely available to feed my biology and free up P to the crop?

Management Zones Your zones are only as good as the soil test used. You can have the best zones in the world, but if your test only measures the chemical side of the soil (Bray, Olsen, AA, Mehlich), you’ll keep chasing ppm values that don’t tell the whole story. You will just be managing numbers, not the system. The field changes. The biology changes. The chemistry changes. Your soil test should reflect all three. That’s why Baseline Rx starts by asking the soil what it can actually provide. Doing this allows for nutrient efficiency and getting more out of every fertility dollar spent.

Decided to make this video to address a lot of the questions that have been sent the last few days. Nutrient efficiency - what happened? I’m sure someone will tear this apart, claiming it’s wrong. This is my opinion only, based off studying literature and the crop. I’ve spent 20+ years of watching the crop and comparing plant uptake results to soil lab reports.

PPM farming is the past. Farming for efficiency is the future.

What is your crop residue solution? 👀 It ain't it, if it ain't Meltdown.

Baseline Rx from Agronomy 365 is the premier soil sampling platform and is rewriting how we think about and manage soil fertility and seeding.

This. Is. How. We. Farm. Now.

Nitrate buildup is silently robbing yield. AmiNo tackles it head-on with free amino acids that convert nitrogen faster and more. Results? 8+ bu/A in corn. 5.5+ bu/A in soybeans. Tank-mix compatible with your fungicide pass. Smarter nitrogen. Stronger finish.

BW Fusion (@bw_fusion), which is based in @CityofFortWayne, is looking to drive biological innovation at every stage of the crop nutrition cycle. Dr. Tanya Soule with BW Fusion shared more with Eric Pfeiffer on the @AgriNovusIN AgBioscience Podcast. hoosieragtoday.com/2025/07/08/the…
