ecmn | There is a lot of money to be made in farming farmers
The original poster is correct. Everybody and their brother is trying to jump on this biological bandwagon because for Elijah prices are high. Margins are thin and everybody wants the farmer's Dollar.
I think birdie represents a lot of the agricultural community. I hope he stays in this conversation.
But Birdy if you want data on biologicals then you should show the university data that shows removal rate application fertilizer roi year after year.
Show me the multi-year roi data from the universities that fall. Anhydrous is actually better.
Show the university data that blanket application broadcast p&k roi year after year.
We have been so ingrained and taught if we spend a dollar on an input we need a dollar on yield. We've been taught to ignore the whole season. Basically Everything involved on getting to the finish line and just focus on the finish line.
Biology is why the fertilizers you apply get to the plant. Biology is why You don't realize how many gaps are in your fertilizer system from what you apply to what doesn't get to the plant, but the plant still gets its needs met.
University and common agronomy will never or very rarely get a biological to show positive.
Funding. who's paying for the trial?
The setup. The universities are designed to replicate what is happening in the industry, so they're going to do a similar program as a farmer and we're just going to add this biological product to our current system and then measure for yield and when it doesn't make a yield gain we can say that it doesn't work.
I have many replicated trials showing that Maxx systems LLC products work very good in conjunction with sound agriculture products. But I'm using these products in a soil health-based or biologically friendly system.
I have moved soil tests rather significantly To the positive without adding fertilizer. Nutrient cycling is the role of biology.
I have three Fields that buy farming in a biological manner, not necessarily bugs in a jug have maintained or improved their P1 Bray over a 7 to 12 year trials without adding hardly a lick of outside sourced P.
Your P1 Bray is a fantastic indicator of biology working in your soil.
I have the soil test to show that the biological system is generating me a very good nitrogen credit in our low organic matter soils.
The system isn't magic. I can show you many failures in my fields entscheidend to learn How to bring soil back to life
Someday I'll probably have to blow the dust off of the fungicide. But so far I've gotten a lot of years without fungicide. Rather biology and nutrition to try to build a healthy plant has been working.

So what has worked. World of biologicals. So what’s worked.
