Row crop growers looking to improve soil health and crop performance know the value of biological, regenerative practices. Compost extracts are a low-cost, high-impact tool that can help you enhance soil biology, increase yields, and support resilient crops.

No-Till Farmer welcomed Hiwassee Products for a webinar on integrating compost extracts into your operation. You’ll see how they work, how to apply them effectively, and how farmers are using them to achieve measurable results.

During this session, you’ll learn about the biological science behind creating compost extracts, view equipment demonstrations, and hear case studies from farmers successfully implementing this practice at scale.

You Will Learn: 

• Why compost extracts are considered a low-cost, high-return biological amendment for improving soil health
• How a broad, biodiverse spectrum of soil-adaptive microbes with beneficial plant-associated properties can be cultivated in specialty compost and extracted into a liquid amendment
• Practical ways to apply compost extract, including in-furrow at planting, through fertigation, as a foliar spray, or as a seed coating
• What farmers are reporting from using compost extracts, including comparable or higher yields relative to nitrate fertilizer, less pest and disease pressure, better root development and plant vitality, and increased water infiltration and retention
• The equipment and support available from Hiwassee Products and AgriBio to help farmers implement compost extract systems at scale, including high-performance compost extractors, consulting services and compost-derived biological products designed to improve soil biological health

Whether you’re already practicing regenerative farming or exploring new soil health strategies, this webinar will show how compost extracts can be integrated into your operation to deliver results.

This webinar is brought to you by No-Till Farmer and Hiwassee Products.
