You sprayed once, then twice, and the weeds are still standing. The herbicide didn't fail you, your water did. When your spray water sits at a high pH, the calcium in it wraps around the herbicide molecule before it ever reaches the plant. You mixed expensive water and called it a day.

We get into two things here. First is gypsum, what it actually does to your soil, why high magnesium locks your ground up tight as concrete, and why your soil test can show plenty of calcium and still have none available for your crop. Second is spray water pH, how to test it, how to lower it, and why a coffee can of citric acid in a thousand gallon tank can save you an entire extra pass across the field.

There's a live demo in here too. Watch the pH drop in real time with barely a pinch of citric acid. Once you see it you'll never skip the water test again.

Fertilizer prices aren't coming down, input costs keep climbing, and most farmers are still buying nutrients from the other side of the world when the answer might already be on their own operation.

Abe sits down with Kelly, a row crop and livestock farmer from Griswold, Iowa, to talk about what happens when you actually close the nutrient cycle, what it costs to farm today, and why the next generation is going to do this differently than their parents did.

If you're in agriculture and you've been thinking there has to be a better way, this one's worth watching.

We’ve been talking a lot about soil health and natural fertilizer systems, but this one is a little different, this is real, long-term experience from the field.

I sat down with Bill, a farmer, neighbor, and customer I’ve worked with for over 10 years. We go back to the early days when we first started testing soils and experimenting with compost, and he shares what he’s actually seen change over time.

We talk about bringing micronutrients back into depleted soils, what happens when you focus on biology instead of just inputs, and how things like earthworms, residue breakdown, and soil structure have shifted on his farm.

We also get into no-till, cover crops, and how keeping the soil active year-round plays a big role in long-term productivity and stability.

This isn’t theory, it’s what it looks like when you stick with a system and watch it evolve over the years.

We’ve been talking a lot about soil health and natural systems lately, and this conversation really puts things into perspective.

I sat down with Wolfgang from Bio xG to go deeper into what they’ve been building with Bioferm and why taking a more natural, biology-first approach might be the key to improving soil performance long term.

We get into how complex these systems really are, why isolating single nutrients doesn’t tell the full story, and how plants, microbes, and organic compounds all work together in ways we’re still trying to fully understand.

We also talk about nutrient efficiency, real-world results, and what this could mean when you’re actually applying it in the field. If you’re thinking about soil health, fertilizers, or just trying to get more out of your program without overcomplicating things, this is worth a watch.

We talk a lot about waste, but what if most of it isn’t really waste at all, just nutrients in the wrong place? That shift in perspective changes everything. What the food industry throws away every day still holds value, and the real opportunity is figuring out how to put it back where it belongs.

That’s where Waste Into Nutrient Recovery (WINR) comes in. The idea is simple: take those organic streams, process them the right way, and return them to the soil as a resource. When done right, it creates a system where everyone benefits, the supplier reduces risk, the farmer gains a more stable and efficient input, and the environment gets a more responsible approach.

Long term, this isn’t just about managing waste, it’s about rebuilding how we think about fertility, sustainability, and food production. Instead of relying only on extracted inputs, the focus shifts toward completing the cycle and working closer with how nature was designed to function.

Healthy soil is the foundation of productive farming. When soil structure, biology, and nutrient management work together, crops grow stronger, yields increase, and farms become more resilient over time.

The Soil First system focuses on renewing soil health, fueling crops with nutrients at the right time, and supporting plant development throughout the season. By improving soil structure, stimulating microbial activity, and managing nutrients more efficiently, farmers can build a system that produces stronger crops while protecting the long-term productivity of their land.

Taking care of the soil today means creating better yields, stronger plants, and a more sustainable future for the next generation of farmers.
