Carbon, carbon, carbon

Brian and I spent November 9th through the 12th in sunny Phoenix, Arizona attending the international meeting of Bio Huma Netics, Inc. You may recognize the name more easily by the Huma Gro® label of their ag products. We have been using Huma Gro products for the past eight years with a great deal of success. Their formulation is very unique; no one else has anything else exactly like it, which is why it is so good.

Huma Gro products all start from a mix of Leonardite extracts that contains organic acids, ultra-fine carbons, and soluble minerals. The important part of this combination is that it is similar to the combination found in healthy, stress-free plants. If a plant is not healthy or is under stress, the Huma Gro products do a great job of supplying the carbon and organic acids required. This explains why our crop production programs containing Huma Gro products will have plants that have less stress and produce more. One of the challenges we face is that we include these products in the program but they may not be used as directed. We include them because they work.

Healthy plants produce carbon for their own use. Plants that are not healthy need carbon to become healthy. When you think about it, using Huma Gro products with their Micro Carbon Technology™ only makes sense.

Many of you know me and subscribe to my newsletter, Agronomically Speaking. The purpose of this blog is to provide a platform that is not as technical as the newsletter that will look at issues that you as growers may not see face-to-face on a daily basis. With my years in retail, retail sales management, and as a manufacturer’s representative, I have some insights that farmers may not have. This blog is designed to allow me to express those insights in my own words and in a timely manner that will help you in your operation.

From time to time there may be special alerts that will be posted for various commodity groups or information that we have gathered from various meetings we attend. Our intent is to post weekly and the posts may be from me, but Brian and Celine will also supply information.

More than anything else, Behind the Curtain will be a place where Ag Tech Services philosophy and knowledge will be highlighted for the benefit of our subscribers.
