A shared universal desire to improve our health at the beginning of every year leads us to pay special attention to the food we eat after a long season of overindulgence. We find ourselves filling bags with fruits and vegetables, fresh baked goods and local meats at the farmer’s market.
That’s who we turn to for our healthiest choices: America’s innovative food producers. They focus on using the latest scientific research — and there’s a lot of it going on across the nation — to provide chicken and beef and corn and soybeans that satisfy the demands of nutrition-savvy consumers and a sustainable profit for growers.
At Asido, we believe in the power of biologicals to meet that need. The addition of beneficial microorganisms enhances nutrient availability and stimulates beneficial microbe activity.
Apparently, we’re not alone.
An article in the January issue of Successful Farming, “Considerations to Integrate Biologicals Into Your Rotation,” cites growers who have adopted biologicals and say they aid in fertilizer uptake, “the key to increased yield.”
In a 2024 survey, 45% of all row crop producers say they purchase or use biological products, an increase of 8 percentage points in two years, according to the article, which goes on to discuss how best to incorporate biologicals into existing crop management plans.
