Brazil's record-breaking corn crop met with a shift in demand. Driven by ethanol plants and the animal feed sector, domestic consumption has taken space from exports. Listen to the episode featuring Camila Fontana, Deputy Bureau Chief at Argus in Brazil, and Nathalia Giannetti, a specialist contributing to the Argus AgriMarkets and Argus Brazil Grains and Fertilizers reports. 

Almost 15 million acres in the Midwest grow corn on the same land year after year. That's about 20 percent of all Midwest cropland.Growing corn in this way produces more greenhouse gas emissions than crop rotation because it releases more nitrous oxide — a greenhouse gas 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.That's according to a new report from the Environmental Working Group.But cost-effective, climate-smart practices can reduce these emissions in a big way.Anne Schechinger is lead author of the analysis, and she shared more about the findings as well as solutions to offset the climate impacts of continuous corn with Climate Cast host Paul Huttner.Click play on the audio player above to listen to this episode, or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.

In this episode, we welcome Nik from Rooted Leaf to the Circle to discuss a revolutionary approach to feeding cannabis that is perfect for the homegrower focusing on natural and regenerative inputs. Nik breaks down the science behind carbon-based fertilization and how it is changing the game for increasing potency and yield!Key Highlights You Won't Want to Miss:• Carbon as a Macronutrient: Learn why Rooted Leaf treats carbon as the most important macronutrient. Since cannabinoids and terpenes are 80-90% carbon by weight, Nik explains how feeding carbon directly into plant pathways significantly boosts the production of these active metabolites.• Fertilizer that Feeds Your Soil: Rooted Leaf products are designed to work harmoniously with regenerative and living soil systems. We clarify the common confusion: despite regulatory labeling, their products are not bagged mineral salts. Instead, they are organic complexes manufactured from scratch using fermentation chemistry (e.g., calcium chelate from fermented orange peels), which contributes to and feeds the soil biology.• Small Pots, Massive Results: Hear directly from Howling who has pulled almost an ounce from a solo cup using Rooted Leaf products, demonstrating how effective this modular product line is even for small pot organics..• The Gateway Product for Natural Growers: Even if you're running a well-amended living soil, Nik has recommendations for how to incorporate some of the products for immediate results.• Saving Energy, Boosting Potency: Discover the unique thermodynamic perspective on feeding plants. By providing plants with compounds they would normally have to spend energy making (like a "half-built cell wall"), Rooted Leaf allows them to redirect that saved energy into producing high-energy molecules—cannabinoids and terpenes.• Natural "Sunscreen" for Your Plants: Nik details how plant extracts rich in anthocyanins (found in their products) can be used as a foliar spray to interact directly with excess light energy, acting like a protective sunscreen. This reduces oxidative stress, allowing home growers to utilize higher light intensities indoors.• DIY Homebrew Tip: Nik shares his recommended entry-level beneficial input that any homegrower can easily make.Tune in to get smarter about feeding your plants and elevate your next homegrow!

As growers look ahead to the 2026 season, concerns around phosphate fertilizer costs and nutrient replacement are top of mind. Craig Dick, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Phospholutions, shares how RhizoSorb 839-O, a next generation dry phosphate fertilizer, keeps more phosphorus available to plants by preventing it from locking up in the soil.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

6. The Cormorant and the Guano Trade: Wealth, Exploitation, and Intensive Farming AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This section covers Cormorant guano, a highly prized fertilizer known to the Incas. In the 19th century, shipping guano from arid Peruvian islands made British businessman William Gibbs the wealthiest commoner in England. Tragically, this wealth was built upon the exploitation and deaths of Chinese indentured laborers. The guano boom (1840-1870) ended, leading to the invention of synthetic fertilizers (Haber-Bosch process), which enabled intensive farming that caused wildlife decline in Britain and North America. 1838

The October 6 edition of the AgNet News Hour put the spotlight on California's most pressing issue: water. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Corey Broad, agronomic sales manager at Avid Water, who shared candid insights into irrigation technology, policy failures, and the future of farming in the Golden State. Broad explained that while California farmers have widely adopted drip irrigation systems over the past two decades, the current challenge is improving efficiency. Growers are now asking how to optimize not just water use, but also energy, fertilizer, and labor through these systems. “It's about finding the right solution for each grower,” Broad said, noting Avid Water's ability to handle everything from pumps and wells to system design and crop advising. He emphasized that irrigation technology also plays a key role in labor savings. Fertilizer applied through drip systems can cut application costs dramatically compared to manual or machine-based methods. But pests like gophers remain a challenge, pushing manufacturers to explore subsurface drip irrigation for orchards as the next frontier. Beyond technology, Broad addressed the political side of California's water woes. He argued that shortages are manmade, the result of decades without significant storage investment since the 1970s, despite the state's population doubling since then. “Imagine if we hadn't built a road since 1979,” he said, drawing a parallel to California's outdated water infrastructure. Broad also warned of uncertainty heading into 2026. Many Westside growers are forced to make planting decisions before knowing whether they'll even receive federal water allocations. “Every year it's the same discussion: will there be water, and how much?” he said. This unpredictability, he cautioned, trickles down to farm communities, threatening jobs, small towns, and local economies. Still, Broad remains optimistic. He pointed to potential federal investment, improved groundwater recharge in districts like Fresno, and opportunities to bridge the gap between agriculture and urban communities. “Yes, this problem is solvable if we take action,” he concluded. For farmers across the Central Valley, Broad's message rang clear: California doesn't lack water — it lacks leadership and infrastructure.

Today, we delve into the Garden Basics archive for three segments about the importance of building your soil in the fall. We talk with America's Favorite Retired College Horticulture professor, Debbie Flower, and Sacramento's Organic Advocate, Steve Zien. We explore the vital role of nitrogen in gardening. We address a listener's concern about low nitrogen levels in soil, discussing the challenges of measurement as well as alternative testing methods. We emphasize the significance of organic amendments, such as compost and cover cropping, particularly with crops like fava beans, to enhance nitrogen levels and overall soil health. Our conversation also covers the detrimental effects of high-salt synthetic fertilizers. And, we talk about sustainable gardening practices that promote nutrient cycling and plant growth.Previous episodes, show notes, links, product information, and transcripts at the home site for Garden Basics with Farmer Fred, GardenBasics.net.

With lackluster crop prices, volatile trade markets and rising fertilizer costs, there's a lot of pressure on grower profitability. One helpful step is better managing input costs without giving up performance, which can be done through Redox technology, powered by RAM.RAM, Redox Active Molecules, is a scientific term that describes molecules that give or take a charge, helping plant charge balance even in times of stress.The Redox Bio-Nutrients product line contains RAM technology, including patented and proven RDX-N®, which provides unrivaled nitrogen optimization.“We know synthetic nitrogen use in agriculture is often inefficient,” said Aimee Burke, Agronomy and Business Development for the Redox Midwest. “RDX-N allows the plant to extract nutrients and utilize them more efficiently. The outcome of that is better plant growth and higher yields.”Also packing a major nutritional punch is Rootex®, which stimulates root branching. It's also an excellent source of phosphorus. “I think growers are understanding the key to healthy roots, and how Rootex can benefit that,” said John Parrish of the Midwest agronomy team. “This is especially important with expensive phosphorus prices.”The XPRT Farm in Missouri Valley, Iowa, provides more than 500 acres of corn and soybeans,  where growers can see firsthand the power of Redox technology. “We're just getting started and are so excited,” Burke said. “One of the core values of our company is to tell the truth. We have been sharing from the fields. We wanted to ground truth RAM Technology in the Midwest, and that's what the XPRT Farm allows us to do.”Find out more at https://www.redoxgrows.com/midwest/, for regular updates as well as detailed product information.

Recently U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin along Chuck Grassley, and Joni Ernst from Iowa introduced a bipartisan legislation to help lower the cost of fertilizer by allowing more transparency for the farmers on market factors causing rising costs. This bill is being endorsed by many groups, including the Wisconsin Corn Growers Association. To give more insight on the need for this bill is WCGA member Shane Goplin who is a farmer with HV Acres LLC. He says the government needs to help “answer the why’s.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Joanne welcomes Aaron Deacon from BIOS Nutrients back to the podcast to discuss the newest addition to his product line, a game-changing plant fertilizer in collaboration with Ryzome and the ZooShare Cooperative. You can learn more about Aaron and BIOS Nutrients here. Natural Fertilizer Innovation and Philosophy Aaron started BIOS Nutrients five years ago after being laid off during COVID, initially focusing on making natural fertilizers and pesticides for cannabis growing. Expanded from houseplants to gardening and commercial growing, developing a commercially registered liquid fertilizer made from food waste. Aaron explained his fermentation-based approach to creating fertilizers, which mimics natural soil decomposition processes and emphasizes the importance of microbial diversity in soil health. Healthy soil is more important than new soil, and local organic compost is crucial in building soil ecosystems that are adapted to specific local conditions. BIOS + Rysome New Plant Fertilizer BIOS Nutrients has a new partnership with Lexi, who runs Rysome, a company that repurposes construction waste into plant fertilizers. Together, they developed a new liquid fertilizer that provides immediate nutrient availability, unlike their original dry formulation. BIOS Nutrients' collaboration with the Toronto Zoo's digester facility, which processes food waste into a fertilizer byproduct The development and testing of the new liquid plant fertilizer, "BIOS +Rysome," which has shown promising results with soybean farmers. The challenges of transitioning from synthetic to natural fertilizers, and the need for education and practical solutions for farmers. The importance of soil health and the use of cover crops like clover for nutrient replenishment. Aaron's shift from focusing on indoor cannabis growing to outdoor agriculture and houseplants was driven by a passion for teaching others about sustainable soil practices. Natural Gardening Solutions with Yucca The benefits and uses of yucca extract and plant soap for gardening. Yucca extract is a natural soil rehydrator and wetting agent that can improve the effectiveness of fertilizers and pesticides by lowering surface tension. Plant soap made from deep-fried herbs in canola oil serves as an insecticidal soap and fungicide. Aaron recommended the plant soap for pest control while cautioning about its high pH and proper use. Natural Gardening Products The benefits and affordability of natural gardening products, particularly liquid fertilizers and sulphur-based products. BIOS Nutrients has plans to offer commercial-sized liquid fertilizers in various volumes and Aaron highlighted the advantages of their sulphur product, which is more environmentally friendly and effective than traditional lime sulphur solutions. Aaron shared tips on cost-effective soil building using natural and free resources. Plant-Based Packaging and Shipping Challenges Aaron explained that shipping costs and environmental concerns led them to focus on selling concentrates rather than premixed products. Sustainable packaging options, including aluminum and glass, and the challenges of recycling. Sheridan Nurseries Product Expansion Aaron discussed his journey of getting BIOS Nutrients products into Sheridan Nurseries, a major gardening retailer in Ontario. His company's products, including plant soap, yucca, liquid and dry fertilizers, are now stocked in all seven of their locations.

American Farm Bureau's Market Intel says costs are climbing into 2026, leaving row crop producers with thinner margins.

IFPRI-AMIS Seminar Series | IFPRI Policy Seminar Fertilizers in a Shifting Global Landscape – Trends, Trade, and Sustainability Co-organized by IFPRI and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) September 16, 2025 Fertilizers—both mineral and organic—are indispensable inputs in modern agriculture. Yet, recent years have seen unprecedented volatility in fertilizer prices, trade flows, and policy responses, reshaping the landscape for producers, traders, and farmers alike. This event will explore the evolving dynamics of the global fertilizer market and its critical role in food security and agricultural sustainability. Drawing on the latest research and market intelligence from AMIS, FAO's Food Outlook and IFPRI, this session will unpack the key drivers behind recent market disruptions and recovery patterns, including the environmental footprint of fertilizer use, and a variety of policy developments affecting market access and affordability.
