Maximizing Crop Growth

Properly balanced PH levels can mean the difference between large yields, and crop failure. Overly acidic soil produces smaller crops that simply don’t satisfy the needs of a working farm. Similarly, when soil is not acidic enough, crops may be unable to absorb critical nutrients  That is where soil amendments come into play. Sulfur is…

Gypsum and lime have been used for ages to improve soil and balance PH levels (in the case of lime) to get the land in optimal condition for growing crops. The benefits of lime and gypsum are nothing new but what we know about them, and particularly gypsum, has increased in recent history—the Midwest Symposium…

Dust is a real problem both for the environment at large and for people breathing it in. The impact that dust can have on air-quality is self-apparent. One of the harder things to quantify or conceptualize, however, is how dust can impact crop yield. Your vineyard can’t use words to tell you it’s suffering from…
