Brought to you by Growers Mineral Corp., this podcast dives into the science and stories behind Growers Mineral Solutions (GMS)—a noncorrosive 10-20-10 liquid crop nutrient used in the Growers Program. GMS is easy to handle, safe to apply, and one of the few products on the market that helps farmers meet CAFO and nutrient management regulations while still increasing productivity.


We’ll hear from real farmers, field reps, and agronomists who are using GMS and high-calcium lime to build better soils, grow higher-energy crops, and improve long-term soil structure. These conversations cover plant nutrition, input efficiency, yield improvements, and what it really takes to make smart agronomic decisions in today’s environment.


This isn’t organic farming—it’s better farming. It’s about making practical, science-based improvements that pay off in the field.


If you're interested in:

  • Boosting crop energy and quality
  • Maximizing fertilizer efficiency
  • Improving soil health through lime and balanced nutrition
  • Navigating environmental regulations while staying profitable
     …then you're in the right place.


Growers Mineral has been helping farmers succeed since 1955.

Paul shares lessons from his family’s decades of experience with Growers Mineral Solutions, including water quality, forage production, livestock health, reduced tillage, soil structure, and the gradual transition to regenerative farming. Marty and Paul discuss the importance of looking beyond yield and conventional testing to consider forage quality, profitability, soil biology, and the overall health of the farm.

Dave provides an update on corn and soybean conditions in Iowa, cattle prices, and the agricultural markets. Jim closes the call with thoughts on the upcoming WASDE report, rising fertilizer costs, product availability, and the growing recognition of soil biology throughout mainstream agriculture.

It is a wide-ranging conversation filled with firsthand observations about building healthier soil, producing better-quality feed, lowering input costs, and making farming decisions based on what is actually happening in the field.

]]> In this episode of the Growers Mineral Podcast, we talk with Pennsylvania-based father-son duo Lowell and Wendell Grove, longtime farmers and trusted Growers reps. Hosted by Jim Halbeisen, this down-to-earth conversation covers everything from reducing nitrogen inputs and using alternative lime sources, to navigating today’s cattle markets and running farm equipment auctions.

Lowell first started using Growers back in 1997 after seeing results feeding the mineral to livestock. That success carried over into their cropping program—and today, he and Wendell continue to focus on practical, low-input farming that works.

Whether you’re just getting started or have been farming for decades, this episode brings real stories and takeaways from folks who walk the walk.
