Today on Episode 9 we’re talking about Growing Premium Corn with Huma Gro® Products. Our guests include Mr. Lyndon Smith, President and CEO of Bio Huma Netics, Inc.—the maker of Huma Gro®, Fertilgold® Organics, Mesa Verde Humates, and several other product lines—and Mr. Jason Garcia, Florida Sales Manager and Agronomist for Bio Huma Netics, Inc. Growing corn is quite a complicated topic, so in this podcast we walk through the typical growth cycle of corn and discuss the nutrients that are needed at each stage. We also discuss products that you might need because of common deficiencies or pests and products that you might want to add in order to achieve premium quality for your crop. We review the needs of both grain corn and sweet corn and discuss nutritional needs differences between the two.

How Dry Conditions Drive #Plant25 Decisions
There’s an old saying in farming: “Plant in dust, your bins will bust”. The premise is that dry soils will encourage faster, deeper root growth early in the season, which will lead to more robust root systems and stronger plants throughout the growing season. Conversely, crops planted in ideal moisture conditions may become lazy and their roots remain shallow, causing potential problems later in the season when summer heat and dry conditions often arise. If that old adage is true, then Midwest farmers would be looking at a bumper crop in 2025. Then again, there’s dry, then there’s very dry.
