I observed several field trials of HGBs on farmer corn fields as well as on corn and soybean plots planted very late in the season (July). A number of these sites experienced severe weather conditions including periods of drought, excessive rain events, tornadic winds up to 75 mph, damaging hail, and other environmental stresses. In each case and despite the severe stress conditions, the corn and soybean HGBs treated crops produced yields above those of the untreated crops.

I watched HGBs on two different corn field trials, we had a drought period that held back the control from tasseling. While the corn treated with HGBs tasseled regardless of drought conditions. Also, during other stress times, corn treated with HGBs was greener. HGBs kept the corn on schedule, despite multiple stress events.

Jeff Sherman asked me if he could use one of my corn fields for a trial, I agreed. He and John had flagged out multiple rows throughout the field and made applications. In August, Dr. Taylor and Dr. Orton came to evaluate the plot and I was invited to walk along. The first thing that I noticed was that you could see the plot with HGBs from the road, it was taller and greener than the rest. As we made our way to the plot it was even more noticeable! As we reviewed the data after harvest, I was impressed that the plot control was nearly the same as my field average, and the HGBs were significantly higher, harvest was done correctly. That means a lot to me.

I planted a corn and soybean trial. In the trial were seeds from Pioneer, Dyna Gro, Seedway, Hefty Bros and NK. At the end of August, Jeff Sherman asks me if he could try a product on some of the corn and soybeans. He said that it was an experimental product that work on other crops and he would like to see if we could get a response if it was applied late. Jeff returned on September 1st with the HGB product, and we made some applications. I was amazed that such a little amount of product made a difference in the soybeans that I could see driving past! Even neighbors noticed the difference. I went into the corn and looked, we had leaf disease but the HGBs seemed to slow it down.
I asked Jeff if it was going to be available to buy but he said he wasn’t certain. So, I invited him to do more testing at my farm.

This year’s tomatoes grew very well for me even though we started out with some timber rot. This summer we frequently had this comment from our customers, “Your tomatoes are the best we have ever had; not only are they sweet with a good tomato flavor but also have a good feel to them”.
