April WeedRead -Healthy soil grows better crops, and Resurge®: Humic Acid helps bring your soil back to life.
5 questions for you:
- What kind of soil challenges do you see in your fields?
- Do you ever feel like some of your fertilizer isn’t getting fully utilized?
- How well are your soils holding nutrients and moisture?
- Have you ever noticed areas where the crop just does not respond the way you expect?
- If you could get better nutrient efficiency out of what you’re already applying, what would that value be?
Soils across Montana are diverse, ranging from sandy soils in the river valleys to heavier clay soils and calcareous soils common across the northern Great Plains. Many of these soils face similar challenges: limited organic matter, nutrient tie-up, moisture variability, and reduced biological activity after decades of cultivation. Products like Resurage® humic acid are designed to address these issues by improving soil function and helping crops use nutrients more efficiently.
A Tool for Long-Term Soil Productivity
For Montana producers focused on long-term soil health, humic acid products can be a valuable addition or dollar-for-dollar trade to fertility programs. By improving soil structure, nutrient retention, microbial activity, and water management, Resurage® helps build more resilient soils that support healthy crop production.
Rather than replacing fertilizers, humic acid works alongside them – helping farmers get more value from every nutrient applied and gradually improving soil conditions year after year.
Increased Microbial Activity
Healthy soil biology is essential for nutrient cycling and root development. Humic substances act as a food source and environment enhancer for beneficial soil microbes. Resurge® has been shown to increase microbial populations and organic matter activity in soils by adding carbon and oxygen for a healthy microbe environment.
These microbes help break down organic materials, release nutrients, and create a more resilient soil ecosystem. In regions where soils are naturally low in organic matter – such as much of Montana – this biological boost can make a significant difference over time.
