Meet AgriTec International, a family-owned company deeply rooted in the world of agriculture, on a mission to tackle a pressing challenge in the farming industry: soil pH and the soaring expenses associated with soil liming.
Farmers across the country are grappling with the mounting difficulty of maintaining the ideal pH levels in their soil, especially in places like Texas, where the cost of limestone can exceed a whopping $100 per ton. These rising prices for traditional soil lining materials pose significant hurdles for our hardworking farmers, resulting in subpar soil quality, less-than-ideal growing conditions, and unnecessary waste. But fear not, AgriTec not only empowers farmers to manage soil pH effectively but also offers an affordable alternative in an industry where cost-effective options are hard to come by.
"Our goal isn't just about selling products; it's about providing real solutions to the challenges our industry faces. We're deeply committed to the well-being of our farmers and the vitality of their crops,” says Nathaniel Barrett, the visionary CEO of AgriTec International.
With AgriTec's innovative products, farmers can turn historically unproductive soils, especially sandy ones, into high-quality, nutrient-rich soil reminiscent of the fertile lands in states like Iowa. Over a period of 3 to 4 years, their process improves soil structure, boosts micronutrient levels, and enhances water retention, creating the perfect environment for robust plant growth.
Unlike traditional practices that involve heavy supplementation of artificial fertilizers, AgriTec's approach minimizes the need for phosphorus and potassium supplements. It tackles the challenge of nutrient binding in the soil by nurturing healthier soils that can retain nutrients in an exchangeable state. This not only reduces the need for external supplementation but also unleashes the hidden potential of existing nutrients in the soil.
A key element of AgriTec's strategy is increasing microbial levels in the soil, which enhances carbon capture. Through a fascinating exchange between plants and soil microbes, carbon is captured from the atmosphere and swapped for vital nutrients, like phosphorus and potassium. This not only nurtures healthier soil but also contributes significantly to carbon sequestration, addressing global environmental concerns in the process.
AgriTec's soil management techniques and conversion methods have led to impressive results. For instance, they've managed to grow 250–265-bushel corn crops with less than 100 units of nitrogen input, a departure from conventional farming practices. By optimizing the natural resources within the soil, their approach benefits both farmers and the environment.
What makes AgriTec's products truly exceptional is their composition – containing 100 percent orthophosphate nutrients that are readily absorbed by plants. This is in stark contrast to ammonia-based nitrogen or potash, which can potentially harm soil health. The aim here is precise foliar feeding, delivering essential nutrients directly to the plants, effectively addressing soil deficiencies.
One of AgriTec's flagship products is Keystone, a liquid calcium solution that works wonders in managing soil pH. It rejuvenates underperforming soils over time, boosting their nutrient-holding capacity and reducing the continuous need for phosphorus and potassium supplementation. This translates to reduced input costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
Beyond fertilizers, AgriTec also provides humates and fulvic materials that promote soil health and organic matter. Their commitment to environmentally friendly practices shines through in a case involving a Minnesota farmer, where AgriTec's holistic approach led to significant improvements in soil health and nutrient retention. The results were nothing short of remarkable for this farmer, who witnessed substantial improvements in soil health and nutrient-holding capacity. With the soil now retaining ample phosphorus and potassium, the need for supplements decreased, and nitrogen usage in corn notably decreased.This year, the farmer's yields were exceptional, featuring two notable corn harvests: an initial yield of over 70 bushels per acre and a subsequent impressive harvest of 265 bushels per acre using minimal nitrogen. Additionally, the farmer also produced 75 bushels of beans per acre, showcasing a successful growing season across multiple crops. These soil improvements not only boosted productivity but also resulted in significant reductions in fertilizer expenses, showcasing the practical benefits of AgriTec International's approach.
AgriTec's strategy combines a centralized structure with a local touch, seeking out individuals who understand the unique needs of their regions. With a network of over 100 agronomists and soil health experts nationwide, AgriTec tailors its approach to meet the diverse needs of farmers.
The company understands that agriculture is deeply personal, emphasizing the importance of intimate knowledge of local conditions and farmers. This perspective fuels their commitment to revolutionize an industry grappling with rising input costs, all while striving to provide sustainable solutions that empower farmers without compromising crop quality.
