Fertilizer isn't optional; you can't grow a crop without it. So when the price skyrockets, it can catch your attention. In this edition of Kernels, Tadd Nicholson goes in-depth with NCGA President Jed Bower and NCGA's Nancy Martinez to break down what's driving the cost of fertilizer, and what, if anything, can be done about it. Plus, learn more about a new event in Northwest Ohio that's bringing farmers together.

Fennig Equipment L.L.C. 841 OH-29 Celina, OH 45822 (419) 953-8500 Spring is creeping closer and planter season is right around the corner. In this episode of the Talking Shed Podcast, we break down why planter fertilizer is absolutely booming right now and what growers are really asking for heading into March. Is it back studies? Biologicals? Neighbor influence? Or just proven ROI? We talk through: • Why simple electric pump systems are winning • Risk versus reward when adding technology to your planter • Stainless tubes versus conceal systems • How to build bulletproof fertilizer setups • Shop updates and current planter installs • The cultivator deal recap • Commodity Classic travel plans Planting season is already complex. The last thing you need is a fertilizer system that costs you acres. Our focus is simple: build systems that work, eliminate unnecessary headaches, and keep farmers running. At the end of the day, we do not just sell equipment. We serve customers. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Talking Shed Podcast.

Today we're going on the road with a conversation recorded during the Minnesota Association of Social and Water Conservation Districts' (MASWCD) annual conference. Mike Schultz, district manager at the Le Sueur County SWCD talks with Brad Carlson about actual methods of incorporating conservation practices into the landscape. What are general categories of conservation practices? How are watershed plans written, and how do they address a balanced set of interests? Which practices tend to appeal to farmers the most? What kinds of resources can a County SWCD provide? What are some examples of successful implementation? Are there cost-share programs available - and if so how do farmers find them? All that and more on today's episode of the Advancing Nitrogen Smart Podcast.Guests:Brad Carlson, Extension educator (Mankato)Mike Schultz, district manager, Le Sueur SWCD Additional resources:Le Sueur County SWCDSoil and Water Conservation District Directory MN SWCDs (from the MN Board of Soil and Water Resources)Minnesota Nutrient Reduction StrategyNitrogen SmartOne Watershed, One Plan---For the latest nutrient management information, subscribe to the Nutrient Management Podcast.

​​Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://thriving-leader-2026.lovable.app/Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode of The Intentional Agribusiness Leader, Mark sits down with Corey Rosenbusch, CEO of The Fertilizer Institute, to unpack what's really happening in Washington — and why it directly impacts growers, retailers, and agribusiness leaders across the country.Corey shares how fertilizer has been elevated to a global stage over the past year. From tariffs on Canadian potash to sanctions on Belarus and global urea disruptions, fertilizer now sits at the center of food security, national security, and geopolitical negotiations.One key reminder: fertilizer is a global commodity. Prices are driven by worldwide supply and demand — not local preference. When China limits phosphate exports or global supply tightens, U.S. growers feel it immediately.Corey also gives a behind-the-scenes look at what trade associations actually do. From securing critical tariff exemptions during planting season to preventing bio-stimulants from being regulated like pesticides, the work happening in D.C. often determines whether products move efficiently — or get buried in red tape.Another major focus is nutrient stewardship. The 4R framework — right source, right rate, right time, right place — becomes even more critical in tight-margin seasons. Efficiency isn't optional; it's essential.Beyond policy, Corey talks about leadership. When he stepped into TFI six years ago, he asked his team to define their culture — and got 25 different answers. That sparked a deliberate effort to define core values, behaviors, and weekly culture reinforcement. For Corey, intentional leadership starts with clarity.This episode is a reminder that what feels like “noise” in Washington often has very real implications at the farm gate.Listen if you are:Navigating tough fertilizer pricing conversationsLeading in a volatile policy environmentCurious how global supply chains impact local decisionsInterested in culture-building inside mission-driven organizations

Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Acts 3:6 Imagine standing before a barren field, where nothing seems able to thrive. In our lives, there are times when hope feels distant, but just as fertilizer transforms lifeless ground into a fruitful harvest, the name of Jesus breaks through the hardest of circumstances. The essence of who God is — Jehovah-Jireh, Jehovah-Rapha, Jehovah-Nissi, Jehovah-Shalom, and Jehovah-Rohi — serves as our spiritual fertilizer, nurturing us to blossom in even the most insurmountable situations. Remember the story of Peter healing the crippled man at the Gate Beautiful. With a mere declaration of faith and the name of Jesus, Peter brought about what seemed impossible. "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk" (Acts 3:6). Here, we see that a daring, specific request, made in the right name, can lead to miraculous outcomes. It's a powerful reminder that when we pray big in Jesus' name, we open our hearts to divine possibilities.  John 14:13-14 says, "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." Yes, "When we whisper the name of Jesus, heaven doesn't just listen — it leans in. Even the quietest prayer can move eternal doors." So, John 14:13-14 assured us that heaven responds when we believe in the power of His name. Just as a master key opens every door, the name of Jesus unlocks the potential that lies within us, ensuring that we are not limited by human expectations. “Heaven moves where the name is believed,” and this faith paves the way for heavenly interventions in our lives.  As we move forward, let's hold firm to the belief that we can ask boldly and pray decisively, drawing from the fertile ground of His names. May we cultivate a heart of faith, believing that extraordinary things are possible when we lean on Him. As a plant draws from rich soil, we too are made stronger and more vibrant by relying on God's attributes. Each name reveals a facet of His incredible love and provision, inviting us to absorb His goodness and grace. Amen. Proverbs 18:10 says, "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe." Amen. Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, thank You for the richness of Your names that provide us with hope and strength. May we boldly approach You with specific requests, knowing that Your power is limitless. Help us to believe deeply in the potential that lies within those names. As we pray big in Jesus' name, let our lives flourish with purpose and peace. Amen.

In the fourth episode of Down the Garden Path's "Houseplant Chat" series, Joanne discusses the basics of fertilizing houseplants. Topics Covered When to start fertilizing Wait until days are noticeably longer (sometime after daylight savings time) when plants begin active growth again. How to read fertilizer labels (N-P-K) The three numbers represent Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K). Leafy plants may benefit from higher nitrogen; flowering plants often need more phosphorus. Choosing an "all-purpose" fertilizer Balanced blends (e.g., 10-10-10) can work for many houseplants, especially as a baseline. Three common fertilizer formats Water-soluble liquid: mix into watering can; easy to apply while watering. Granular: sprinkle on the soil surface; dissolves as you water (Joanne notes it can feel less precise). Slow-release pellets: dissolve gradually; may only need reapplying every few months. Frequency & control Liquids are immediate and routine-friendly; granular and slow-release can be less frequent but require awareness of plant needs. Start gently Use half-strength for the first few feedings at the start of the season to ease plants in. Organic vs. big-box options Joanne prefers organic options (often lower N-P-K numbers) and mentions the appeal of local/smaller brands, while acknowledging "use what you have" if it's already in your cupboard. Check expiry dates Expired fertilizer is usually not harmful—just potentially less effective. Know your special plants Spot-check care requirements for "can't-risk-it" plants: heirlooms, cuttings, orchids, sentimental favourites (she shares the example of a long-loved rubber tree). Homemade fertilizer recipes (with caution) DIY approaches (tea/coffee grounds/fish emulsion) exist, but beginners should stick to products with known N-P-K values. Takeaways and Tips Don't rush it: Start fertilizing when daylight increases (typically after daylight savings), not in the dead of winter. Half-strength first: For the first few fertilized waterings, go 50% strength to avoid shocking plants waking up from slower winter growth. Match fertilizer to the goal: Leaf growth: consider a more nitrogen-forward option. Flowering: look for a higher middle number (phosphorus). Pick a method you'll actually remember: If you're consistent with watering, liquid can be easiest. If you forget steps easily, slow-release may be safer; just add a reminder so it doesn't get missed. Follow the label (seriously): Package directions matter more than brand debates. Research your "VIP plants": If a plant is sentimental or pricey, do a quick care check so you're not guessing at feeding needs. Use what you have, smartly: If you find old fertilizer, check the expiry date; it may still work, just a bit weaker. Keep it measurable: If you're newer to houseplants, prioritize fertilizers with clear N-P-K numbers over DIY mixes until you've got a baseline routine.

The U.S. is heavily dependent on Canada for potash and China and Mexico for fertilizers. Building a nitrogen fertilizer production facility is capital-intensive, sometimes costing as much as $5-billion. Development of a potash or phosphate mine is expensive and can take up to a decade to complete. In this episode, chief economist at The Fertilizer Institute Veronica Nigh talks about the affect tariffs and political tensions had on global fertilizer supplies in 2025.

Episode Intro:A few weeks ago, I recorded an interview with Margaret Lumley who is co-founder and CEO of a small startup called Roca Water. Roca was one of the top runners up for our Wilkes Climate Prize in 2025. They are driving an innovative technology to tackle two different but related problems – that of water pollution and how we currently make fertilizer for growing plants, for agriculture.   Wastewater is a serious climate and pollution problem, but it doesn't get talked about a lot.  Nutrients from human waste cause harmful algal blooms and generate nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas much more potent than CO₂.    At the same time, the way we produce fertilizer demands an incredible amount of carbon intensive energy to make ammonia, which is done using a chemical process invented before WWI – the Haber-Bosch process. It accounts for about 2 percent of global CO₂ emissions.Margaret Lumley's Roca is tackling these problems by seeing wastewater as an untapped resource. She believes their technology could reduce nitrous oxide emissions at wastewater plants and displace the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process as the only method for producing ammonia.  She thinks doing this could reduce gigatons of global CO₂ emissions each year, and it could be affordable – potentially a win for municipalities that want to reduce their wastewater emissions and a win for agricultural markets that need fertilizer.    So, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Margaret Lumley.  A transcript of our conversation and more is available on our website. wilkescenter.utah.edu/podcast Key Takeaways:1.     Wastewater is a major but underappreciated climate and pollution problem: Nutrients from human waste drive harmful algal blooms and generate nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas far more potent than CO₂.2.     Current fertilizer production is highly carbon intensive: The century-old Haber–Bosch process dominates ammonia production and accounts for ~2% of global CO₂ emissions.3.     Roca reframes wastewater as a resource: Instead of treating ammonium as waste, Roca Water recovers it and converts it into market-ready fertilizer.4.     Electrochemistry enables selective, efficient nutrient capture: ROCA's battery-inspired electrodes selectively remove ammonium (>90% selectivity) even in complex wastewater.5.     Durability is the core technical breakthrough: Roca's electrodes can operate for thousands of cycles (up to ~4 years), making commercialization feasible and cost-competitive.6.     The technology offers dual climate benefits at scale: It simultaneously reduces nitrous oxide emissions from wastewater plants and displaces energy-intensive ammonia production, with potential gigaton-scale CO₂e impact.Episode webpage: wilkescenter.utah.edu/podcast/35-roca-water/

Sunday Night January 18th, 2026Welcome:Songs: #92- Just A Little Talk with Jesus#139-At Calvary Message: Bro Daniel TidwellBearing Good FruitMatthew 21:19-Easy for us to play the part. Easy to have the leaves. How many times in my life have I had the leaves (play the part) and not had the fruit? The devil would love for us to be fruitless Christians. Fruit does not come just from salvation. Fruit requires effort or fertilization. Luke 6:43 Fruit starts in the heart. John 15:5 Jesus is the vines and we are the branches, If we remain in him, we shall bear good fruit. If you do not remain with him, then you are a dead branch and will be culled and tossed into the fire. If you are not saved, you will not have any fruit. You can have good works, but not fruit. A man with good fruit does it with a purpose. Good and Evil cannot be mixed. Instead of questioning their fruit, we need to consider their connection to the vine. The only way that God's people can bring good fruit, is to put their flesh under subjection, and have to do it with purpose. Works is the effort of the flesh and the good fruit is the intent of our heart. John 15:2- God will purge you and we have to allow the chastening of us- the pruning as a Christian has to be allowed to continue to grow. The world is inspecting our fruit daily, and we have to be aware of this and not let bad fruits around us spoil our own, but yet let the Jesus prune us daily. Walk according to the spirit- Grace is present. Allow the Lord to prune us, by diving into the word daily. The way we produce fruit is being right with God. We need to live according to Gods word and his will in our life. Romans 7: 4- We will produce good fruit. Galatians 5: 22-26 - These are the seeds. Things we need to ensure are in our lives to grow good fruit. Joy is eternal, happiness is temperamental.Luke 8: 11-15 Take the fruit and put it in good ground, as scripture states if we put it in bad ground, the fruit will not prosper. The things of the world will choke the vines and not allow your fruit to grow. There is a reason to weed your garden. Clean your weeds, if you want to grow and prosper with the Lord. It is the little stuff that spoils our vine. Read the bible daily! With purpose. You have to have a good ground. Luke 13:6-8 Someone wanted this fruit to produce. Thank the Lord for the dresser of the Vineyard. Allow time for the work. The ground around you needs breaking- your heart cannot be hard and growth happen. The fertilizer runs deep and its not just a one time application, it continues to work for years to come. Colossians 1:10Proverbs 11: 30-31Leviticus 19:9-10 Do not gather the weeds from the corner. Leave the edges for the poor and the foreigner. We must produce good fruit for even the outcast. What you need: Choose good ground. (Ensure your salvation)Plow the field (read your bible and pray)Fertilizer to use (attend church each time the doors are open)Seeds to sow (witness daily to even the edges of your fields) Learn How to manage.(remain steadfast and seek forgiveness when we start to rot, because there is evil that will attempt to destroy your fields and fruits) IF we do not put forth the work, our children will likely not grow the fruits they need.

The Conversation is BACK, and in this episode, we wonder what is the NPK value of menstrual blood and at what PPM should we apply it to our plants? We also brew a fungal dominant tea and discuss cool new products in the grow scene. Plus MUCH MORE!So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a Cultivation Conversation.

Okay folks, PLEASE keep in mind that both the words “watering” and “schedule” should be held EXTREMELY loosely! In this episode we cover watering, light, the myth of the slow-growing hoya, and more! Find the Hungry Plant System, V's Mix, and B*tches Love Hoyas soil at https://ohhappyplants.shop

Fertilizer markets are set to remain firmly supported for the next several years, with no meaningful price relief on the horizon, says Keith Busch, CEO of ClearCost. Structural supply deficits, trade disruptions, and rising logistics costs continue to lock in a higher global price floor—and Canadian growers are feeling the effects. Busch says both nitrogen...

Fertilizer is essential to feeding America, and it all begins with natural gas. On this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Perry Babb, CEO of Keystate Energy, to explain how modern fertilizer is made, why energy policy directly affects food prices, and how the U.S. became dependent on foreign fertilizer despite abundant domestic resources. Perry breaks down the science behind ammonia and nitrogen fertilizer, the role of natural gas as a critical input, and why current supply chains leave American farmers exposed to global instability. Perry also shares his entrepreneurial journey—from international humanitarian work to building large-scale energy and fertilizer projects—and explains why domestic production is key to U.S. food security, energy independence, and national security. As demand grows from data centers, AI, and advanced manufacturing, this conversation highlights how smarter energy policy and reduced red tape can lower costs, strengthen rural economies, and keep America competitive.
