FAQs
The Natural Way to Build Fertile, Productive Soils
Huma’s OM 2–6 mm is a natural humic product processed from naturally occurring, oxidized humic lignite. It provides a concentrated source of humic substances and is a supplemental source of trace elements. Humic substances add organic matter to soils—which stimulates soil microbial life and soil fertility, enhances plant nutrient availability and uptake, improves root development and root mass and growth, and increases crop quality and yield.
OMRI-Listed® OM 2–6 mm is ground and screened to a uniform crumble (contains less than 3% dust) ideal for mixing with other dry inputs that are not hygroscopic. It can be applied to all soils—broadcast in fall, post-harvest, or early spring—either pre-plant or with seed. Incorporation is not required. It can be applied in bands, either with seed, fertilizer, or after planting.

The Cost of Growing America
From drought and rising fuel costs to fertilizer shortages and shrinking margins, farmers across the country are facing mounting financial pressure. While commodity prices offer some hope, many growers still struggle to break even as confidence in the ag economy continues to decline.
This Week in Ag #35
Last week I was a guest on the TopSoil Webinar series hosted by Mitchell Hora of Continuum Ag (you can check it out here). 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.
New Crop, Old Crop: Making Sense of Grain Markets
If you’ve ever listened to a grain commodities report, you’ve probably heard the terms new crop and old crop. But what do they actually mean, and why do prices vary so much between the two? Using corn as an example, we’ll break down how futures markets, basis, and storage decisions all play a role in grain markets.
