Well, your stuff must be good if it comes from PA!! The magazine is called "So you think you can Farm". Really good piece of propaganda....I mean a really good magazine. I don't know much of anything about these humates. We tried them here once but they didn't work;)
Brian, all of Your farmers, and most all are no till. in Your county Produce their own, and use those Humates quite effectively.
anytime you have residue decay you have Humus forming. Tons of it, In the field on Your farm.
Multiple tons of Natural soil bacteria and acids forming is a natural Complex part of the wonders of nature in the work of recycling. Nourishing, energizing the soil for reproducing, and plant production.
all you need is Moisture, oxygen and a good healthy aerobic soil.
and some soil to carbon material contact.
and you well know Brian, all of your No-Tillers in Your county are taking advantage of Nature at work. working for them.
maybe adding some ( store bought product ) versus the tons naturally manufactured by the soil life process. you saw no was significant Boost.
But also realizing that John uses Humates as a spray additive. quite a different usage for him. Up there were no one thinks there are,
Real farmers. Like usafarmer is.
Just my opinion
We got about an inch of rain in the last two days. First good rain we've had in about a month. Guess I gotta mow the lawn again soon:(
