Soil compaction is often overlooked during planting, but it can have long-lasting impacts on crop health and yield. Agronomists Rich Haynes and Ryan Harter discuss how soil compaction can lead to reduced water infiltration, poor nutrient uptake and impacts on root growth. Don't miss their actionable insights to ensure you have the best possible start to your season. #Plant25 #SoilCompaction #Agronomy

Research Scientist Anne Kakouridis recently spoke about the process Sound went through when researching the highest quality AMF, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, to pair with SOURCE to boost crop productivity, health and yield. That's where BLUEPRINT comes in. It extends the effective root zone up to 100x, providing access to nutrients and water that were previously beyond reach.

Last week, Sound's Senior Field Development Manager, Shannon King-Miller, Ph.D., visited the Sound Lab to prepare, package and ship over 140 trial kits to partners assisting us with field development trials this season! Did you know that it takes almost two years from an initial idea for molecular actives to field trial completion? With any luck, these actives may show up in future Sound solutions to drive even greater farm ROI.

In Sound's most recent blog article, Agronomist Nathan Couillard discusses the benefits, challenges and considerations involving contour farming. While the primary benefits of contour farming are erosion reduction and improved water management, there are a variety of techniques available to growers today. Rather than viewing contour farming as an all-or-nothing approach, Nate says it can be considered part of a continuum of soil conservation practices.

We love hearing stories like this, thanks for sharing Adam Kuznia!
🚜 What happens when a farmer sprays a nutrient unlocker late in the season—when it’s “too late” to impact yield? 📞 A late-night phone call with a whispering grower answered that question. In July 2024, my buddy Mitch was spraying fungicide on his pinto beans when I handed him a partial jug of Source. “Spray 20 ounces on this field and 20 on another,” I said. I didn’t expect much—it was late in the season, moisture was running out, and dry beans finish fast. 🌧 Then came August rain—too late to save the crop. I figured Mitch had already written Source off as another “snake oil” pitch. Then came that late-night September call. 📞 “Those 20 acres with Source on my pintos…” 😴 “Yeah?” 📞 “300 pounds per acre better than untreated.” 🔥 Holy. Shit. Then another farmer—just 10 miles south—reported the same results. 📊 300 pounds per acre better. 💰 At 30 cents per pound, that’s $75 per acre MORE—AFTER paying for Source. Why such a dramatic response? Dry beans took the worst drought stress last year. They needed help the most. This is what I keep telling people—Source doesn’t just work. It works when everything else fails. 🚜 2025 is shaping up to be a stress test for all of us. The real question is: Are we setting our crops up to handle it? Would love to hear from others—what’s been your experience with nutrient unlockers and plant stress mitigation? #NutrientUnlockers #Farming #Agriculture #PlantHealth #CropYield #FertilizerEfficiency

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are vital for row crops, but synthetic fertilizers and modern practices often deplete AMF in conventional soils. Restoring healthy AMF populations can increase nutrient efficiency, promote resilience and improve yields. Enter BLUEPRINT. When paired with SOURCE, the AMF supplied by BLUEPRINT is supercharged, enabling them to boost nutrient and water uptake throughout the season. This powerful combination ensures crops thrive during critical growth stages, maximizing yield and resilience. If you're interested in using BLUEPRINT this year — act soon. Due to popularity and demand we will likely sell out of BLUEPRINT this season. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/grGtSFSD
