Today, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated farmers who enrich our tables. Your hard work nourishes communities across the nation and around the world, and we are profoundly grateful. Wishing everyone a #Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and bountiful harvests.
We love to hear from people like Greg Learnard, a grower and Pivot Bio sales rep who uses PROVEN 40 on his farm in Catlin, IL.
"Working with Pivot Bio is about more than just buying and selling a product. The local team is dedicated to grower success and they are a true agronomic resource throughout the year. Through field visits with my customers, I have seen the value of having PROVEN 40 as a consistent source of nitrogen and know the importance of making it a part of a farm's fertility program."
Check out this testimonial from Tolono, IL grower Jeff Little about his experience using PROVEN40:
"This is our second year using PROVEN40 on our farm. It's been a great experience working with the local team and our sales rep, who also does our soil sampling. By working together, we've been able to really dial in our nitrogen program and have seen positive results in the field."
On this #VeteransDay, we want to take a moment to honor and thank the incredible veterans within our team. We have a large number of team members who have proudly served. We also salute our customers and our partners who have served. Your dedication and sacrifice inspire us every day. We’re proud to work alongside you. Today, and every day, we salute you.
Pivot Bio's microbes work in the soil, converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that crops can use daily, all season long. These nitrogen-fixing microbes won't leech, runoff, or volatilize - just as nature intended.
Farmers in Illinois turning to Pivot Bio the past four years grew crops that had more biomass and in-plant nitrogen. Take a look at our full performance report for the state here: https://t.co/riqY4cLaW1

Don’t let your eyes fool you. Yield comes a number of ways and all these @pivotbio treated plants ended up with heavier ears. Early consistency leads to later consistency. You don’t buy all of one stock to invest in so why would you only count on 1 N source for your N program?
With harvest underway, don’t forget to get some last scouting done. Yield data may not tell you why you have high and low spots. Be sure to look at all the information and not just a summary before making decisions for 2025. You could be looking at skewed data.
If fall N really lasts, why are they the driest fields and not the greenest? This wet spring high loss is evident due to less length in UTC fields especially in S. IL. Now lower grain wts is also showing up. More consistent plants with @pivotbio is showing up in grain wts. #4R
Corn is changing. Is yours still green or burning up? The ears reveal a lot of information on what each source is doing and how long they are lasting. @pivotbio still contributing to more kernels/ear. I have a lot more corn to check in the coming weeks. #4R
Dave Bell from Great Falls, MT shares how Pivot Bio boosts his crops right from the start. "Using Pivot Bio to grow early and strong crops at the start of each spring really shows in the results with the fertilizer we use."
Tis the field day season though I was able to make a few field checks. Most corn was still 30%+ moisture and rains this week should help add to test wt. Reps had some good displays to help growers see how Pivot works and understand how to relay their N programs for 2025.
A tale of 2 N programs of 220#+N. Field 1 Pivot ave 51 more total kernels/ear while Field 2 had only 12 more. Pivot provided the foundational 40# for both yet the split program recharged the system to maximize kernels. Replacing 40#N PP for 2025 will improve NUE and ROI. #4R
The early consistency @pivotbio provided is showing up in the ears. My 10 consecutive ears averaged 20-40 more kernels/ear, a few grams heavier and plant pops were higher. This late April and mid-May corn were both >40% moisture so there is still more grain fill potential.
