I just returned from the Acres Conference and Trade Show in Louisville, Kentucky. I hadn’t been for a couple of years and I won’t make that mistake again as the information presented was new, interesting, refreshing, and practical. It’s was an excellent way to gain new insights to the direction of agriculture and re-charge my batteries for the new season.

I’m heading to Monterey, California early tomorrow morning for the Organic Grower Summit presented by CCOF and OPN. I look forward to listening to some excellent speakers and sharing relevant and insightful points of interest from both conferences over the coming weeks.

If you plan on attending, I’ll be at the Creative Ag booth promoting our calcium-based fish hydrolysate, Pacific Gro. Calcium is the trucker for all minerals to the plant. I will also be sharing my time with the Agro Research International booth, the manufacturer of cutting-edge organic products for crop protection including Thyme Guard – a fungicide, bactericide, virucide.

Silicon Fortified Plants

Despite its abundance—second only to oxygen in Earth’s crust—Silicon is still overlooked in many crop nutrition programs. It’s not yet classified as an “essential” nutrient for most plants, but this perspective needs to change or at least shift, given its extensive list of benefits for plants as one of Earth’s core elements.

The Variable Movement of Nutrients Through Plants

The life of a plant, much like that of any other organism, is intricately dependent on the intake and transport of essential nutrients. These nutrients, absorbed predominantly from the soil, are fundamental to the plant’s growth, development, and metabolic functions.

The Elements of Energy Conversion and Plant Growth

I wrote this newsletter back in late October 2019. It came up this week from one of our suppliers as he had just purchased my book. Thank you, Travis, my friend, as it’s worth repeating.

All plants require 17 elements to complete their life cycle. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are obtained from the air and water. Plants derive the remaining 14 elements from the soil, which is often enriched with fertilizers and amendments. Plant growth and development largely depend on the combination and concentration of available mineral nutrients.
