We are excited to introduce our new educational project, the Humic Conversations Video Series. As the name suggests, each episode of the series will focus on humic substances. Two leading researchers from our Humic Research Lab. Dr. Rich Lamar and Dr. Hiarhi Monda will share their expertise with the viewers.
In Episode 1 of this series, we discuss the basic science of humic substances. Dr. Lamar and Dr. Monda explain what humic and fulvic acids are, how they are formed, where they come from, and what their biostimulant properties are when it comes to plant and microbial growth.
The 16-minuite video is closed captioned in English and Spanish.

I mentioned how western growers seem further along in their regenerative agriculture journey. That’s largely driven by regional attitudes and the food companies, who have pledged to sell products grown using regen ag practices. This has motivated growers of crops such as potatoes, onions, apples, and blueberries to hasten their adoption. But in the Heartland, where commodity crops fill the landscape, these growers have lacked many of the market-driven economic incentives. Until now.
