Wednesday was Tax Day. For farmers, it was. Unlike the rest of us, farmers (and fishermen) file taxes on March 1.

These are often independent accountants. And most are long-standing, often multi-generational relationships. Some local Farm Credit and Farm Bureau offices also offer the service.

Research Report: Biostimulant Effect of Humic Acids on Tomato Plants Under Nutritional Stress

In a research study, originally published in Frontiers in Plant Science, May 2021, Vol. 12:660224, the biostimulant properties of humic acids (HA) were tested on Micro Tom tomato plants under increasing nutritional stress. The results confirmed the positive role humic acids play in enhancing nutrient efficiency uptake in plants.

A team of scientists from the Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (Hiarhi Monda, Ryan Fountain, and Rich Lamar) collaborated with Amy M. McKenna of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Ion Cyclotron Resonance Facility, to conduct this research. The researchers believe that the increasing demands for biostimulants in the agricultural market requires the industry to provide research-based data on the efficiency and safety of this particular product category. This was the motivation that led them to initiate this extensive research. [Read more…]
