Be very careful, we went whole hog on their program and are lucky to not be bankrupt. Definitely saw some responses with their soil primer on some tough fields, and a few of their biological products do work to some extent. But the whole philosophy of microbes making p and k available from what you already have is flawed imo, if you take nutrients off you have to put them back on, just the facts of farming. And going the foliar route with their products is very expensive, maybe if you were organic it would pencil. But by and large I do not believe in their philosophy. Yields plunged to half of normal and we almost got wiped out from stripe rust in our wheat,was a warm wet year and we hadn't sprayed fungicide,per their recommendation. For context we have been no till for years,our organic matter is around 8% and our soil is full of worms,and mushrooms when it rains.


I'm not in his program but do biologicals. You still have to soil sample for nutrients in your soil. You can't free the tied up nutrients in a season, it is a few year transition. I haven't heard him speak before, but he is speaking at this soil health seminar I am at today and will listen to what he has to say. There is no one year silver bullet to build biology back. Sounds like you have a great foundation started.
