Bio Huma Netics, Inc.
I’m excited to share that Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (BHN) has acquired an additional building in Arizona. It’s a significant milestone for us that not only testifies to the continual progress we’re making as a company but will also serve as a building block for future expansions.
The 40,182-square-foot building sits on 3.3 acres in Tempe, which is our sister city located near BHN headquarters in Gilbert, Arizona. In 2011, when we purchased the building in Gilbert, we wondered if we’d ever be able to fill that building, but with our sales volumes and capabilities being what they are now, we have outgrown it and require more warehouse space.
One of the requirements that we were looking for during the property hunt was rail access, as it would allow us to freight goods more efficiently. When we located this particular property in Tempe, we promptly realized it would be ideal for us since it had rail access, and also provided additional warehouse space that would help expand our production capabilities. The rail access will help bring in raw materials directly to the facility while empowering us to export finished goods to far off locations through rail network. It will also facilitate our ongoing mining operations in our two mines in Idaho and New Mexico.
This acquisition will give BHN almost 100,000 square feet under roof situated on close to 10 acres in total. In the coming few months we plan to transform the warehouse building into our vision of a world class packaging, blending, and bottling facility! I believe this is one of the many crucial steps along our path to becoming the world leader in humic substances.
This is an exciting time for BHN, as we look forward to great opportunities to grow and be able to meet our customers’ needs not only in the short term but for many years to come.

Where Did the Water Go?
By Jared Alder, MS In England, it is estimated that around 700 million gallons of water—the equivalent of 1,200 Olympics–size swimming pools—is lost every day to leaks in the country’s vast water system. Often the water just rises out to the pavement and runs down the road. Utilities spend countless hours and a great deal of money and other resources trying to locate the sources of leaks, often tearing up roads multiple times in
The Immortal Words of a Corn Legend
"Any corn plant that doesn’t emerge within 12 hours of others is a weed.” Immortal words from an immortal farmer. My friend Steve Albracht. The brash Texan certainly had a way with words. And with corn. I called him the Ric Flair of corn growers – he held as many National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) yield contest titles as Flair has wrestling championships. And he was just as bold. Visiting his Hart, Texas, farm was akin to visiting that of Francis Childs or Roswell Garst. Fast, uniform crop emergence and singulation weren’t just a goal; it was his obsession. He wanted every plant in the entire field to emerge within eight hours. Studies show that plants emerging 24 hours later can lose up to 25% of their yield. While some corn hybrids may be called racehorses, they don’t close on each other like racehorses do. Slow emergers and runt plants will never catch up to early risers.
This Week in Ag #62
Last week my wife and I frequented a rather posh coffee shop in Gilbert, AZ. I was wearing my “God Made a Farmer” t-shirt, likely not common attire for such a place. Yet the number of compliments I received about it was astounding. The well-to-do clientele ranged from fancy-iced-coffee-drinking twenty somethings to retired couples. But the tenor
