Sulfur and phosphorus are key to efficient fertility planning. In this episode, Matt Long explains why sulfur is now considered the “fourth macronutrient,” boosting nitrogen efficiency and helping unlock tied-up phosphorus and micros. Learn how balancing sulfate and phosphate improves plant health, ROI, and soil performance in your 2025 MAX Yield System plan.

Fertility planning is both simple and complex—but critical to 2025 profitability. In this Max Yield System update, Matt Long explains how nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur planning starts with solid soil testing and crop plans. Collect the data, build a plan, and boost ROI. Don’t delay—now’s the time to finalize your 2025 fertility strategy with Red Barn.

Test plot data drives every seed decision at Axis Seed – Red Barn. In 2024, we evaluated hybrids for yield, drought tolerance, pH, and ear flex across diverse environments. Early results show strong new experimental hybrids alongside proven performers like 62K69 and 63F60. But we don’t chase one-year winners—we focus on multi-year consistency to build a reliable, high-performing portfolio for your farm.

This week on EZ Ag, Matt Long dives into how consistency in soil sampling leads to better decision-making and higher yields. He covers why soil is a living system that changes year to year, and how growers can get reliable results by using GPS-located points, sampling at the same time and depth each year, and using the same lab. With consistent practices, soil tests become a powerful tool for long-term crop success. Grow Strong with Axis Seed
