\"CrystalBall\"<\/a>By Joe Dedman<\/p>\n

With increasingly unpredictable weather, new seed varieties and consistent pressure to increase yields, growers will more often be considering the health of their soil as a way to produce better quality crops and greater yields in 2017. Having spent half of my life in the fields and the other half as a researcher, that\u2019s my prediction for this year.<\/p>\n

I believe soil health and nutrient balance are the pieces of the puzzle that have been missing to take growers to the next level in crop production.<\/p>\n

A grower\u2019s primary focus is, obviously, to have high yields. Where these growers often go wrong, though, is that they look at different products to put \u2018on\u2019 the soil instead of \u2018in\u2019 the soil. Growers who have started using humic products, like Monty\u2019s, are seeing healthier soil, and ultimately, higher yields. Here are a couple of reasons why:<\/p>\n
