What if the products you choose today could shape not just next year’s crop, but the entire future of your farm? In this episode, we’re looking at the innovations that will drive yield and profitability in 2026 and beyond because Your Farm and Your Future are Our Focus.

Welcome back to the EZ Ag Podcast, where innovative farming meets practical solutions. I’m your host, Matt Long. Today we’re going to highlight a few of our top product lines, share what we’re seeing in the field, and look ahead at where farming is headed. At Axis Seed – Red Barn, everything we do is built on one foundation: Your Farm, and Your Future. The Max Yield System and the products we offer are designed to deliver both innovation and practicality, so let’s dive into the tools that will drive your farm’s yield and profitability in 2026 and beyond.

Let’s start with the backbone of every operation: seed. Our transition to Axis Seed three years ago has been a complete game changer in how we bring products to market. As an Independent Regional Company, we have the freedom to test, evaluate, and select only the top-performing hybrids that meet the unique needs of farms in our region. That independence is powerful, it allows us to focus on what matters most: you farm and your future.

Our local testing program is one of the keys to that success. We don’t just run basic plots. We put hybrids through real-world conditions, trials on ear flex across populations from 10,000 to 32,500, pH tolerance testing on high-alkaline soils, and multi-county dryland trials for drought tolerance. These aren’t just numbers; they’re insights that help us match the right hybrids to the right acres. And that’s something only an Independent Regional Company can truly deliver.

Now, let’s talk nitrogen. Specifically, Pivot Bio’s ProveN G3 the third generation of their on-seed technology for corn.

ProveN G3, or simply ‘G3,’ builds on the success of earlier versions by introducing two new microbial strains and three modes of action. It doesn’t just replace up to 40 pounds of nitrogen per acre through fixation. It also boosts growth by increasing root mass, biomass, and chlorophyll, while amplifying plant health with more available nitrogen, iron, and manganese. Starting in 2026, it will be available exclusively as an on-seed product making handling and delivery even more efficient for your farm.

And last for today, let’s dig into soil health, fertility, and stress management with BW Fusion. This company leads the way in biofertility and stress mitigation, and there are three products in particular that deserve your attention: BioBoost, RelaxRx, and AmiNo.

Let’s start with BioBoost. More than just a planter box treatment, BioBoost combines a seed lubricant, biologicals, and micronutrients into one product that sets the stage for success the moment the seed hits the soil. It promotes microbial activity, early vigor, and uniform emergence giving your crop a strong, consistent start.

But as we all know, a strong start is only part of the equation. Out here in Western Kansas, stress is a constant factor. That’s where RelaxRx comes in. This product is designed to help your crop push through abiotic stresses like heat, drought, and tough growing conditions. It fits seamlessly into your herbicide pass or can be applied on its own when the weather turns against you. RelaxRx delivers essential amino acids that keep plants resilient, maintain nutrient uptake, and minimize yield loss so your crop can keep moving forward, even when Mother Nature throws a curveball.

And then there’s AmiNo, which builds on that resilience by optimizing nutrient movement within the plant. It’s the number one foliar nitrogen product on the market for a reason. By supplying free amino acids, AmiNo reduces the energy your crop needs to transport sugars, nutrients, and growth hormones. That means faster movement, stronger growth, and more efficient use of the nitrogen you already have. The result is not just healthier plants, but higher yields and better ROI. Together, BioBoost, RelaxRx, and AmiNo form a powerful trio—helping your crop start strong, stay resilient, and finish with the yield potential you’re aiming for.

So, whether it’s the independence and precision of Axis Seed, the innovation of Pivot Bio’s ProveN G3, or the soil and stress solutions from BW Fusion, the future of your farm is clearly already within reach.

Until next time, remember, ag is Easy when you tune into the EZ Ag Podcast.
