Real Stories. Real Results.
Healthy soil is built one season at a time, and every operation has a different journey. Explore stories from growers and partners who have worked with Elevate Ag to improve soil health, strengthen crop performance, and build resilient farming systems through biology.
Western Kansas
When a dryland farmer in Western Kansas dug up his corn roots, he saw a sight he’d only admired in his neighbor’s fields in years past - deep, fibrous roots and healthy plants that stood out.
After comparing Elevate Ag’s biologicals against his traditional starter program, his milo and corn were taller, greener, and showed noticeably less disease pressure. The difference was clear both above and below ground. “Well, I guess I’ll be running this on all my acres next year,” he stated.
This story is a great reminder: lasting results start with life below the surface.

Eastern Colorado
In Eastern Colorado, one producer is proving how Elevate Ag’s biological programs can transform soil health and crop performance!
While nearby operations battled Mosaic Rust, this farm’s wheat fields stayed clean, uniform, and healthy. Even more impressive, they achieved outstanding harvest results without a single pound of phosphorus applied.
Wheat Harvest Highlights:
• 13.8% protein
• 60 test weight
• 50–60 bushels per acre
Across multiple fields, improvements were noticeable, especially breaking ground on newly acquired rental acres that were previously managed using full synthetic programs.
• Loamier soil and easier planting conditions
• Consistent plant vigor and healthy stands
• Enhanced residue breakdown and visible soil life
Northwest Kansas
In Northwest Kansas, one farm’s irrigated corn made a remarkable turnaround after applying Elevate Ag’s biological solutions.
A visible strip of iron chlorosis had appeared in a circle of irrigated corn; yellowed, stressed, and slow to grow. Within days of an Elevate Ag foliar application, the strip turned a deep, healthy green, and plant vigor across the area improved.
Root digs from the treated acres revealed what was happening below the surface: strong, fibrous root systems that supported healthier, more resilient plants through heat and stress.
For this operation, biology didn’t just treat a problem, it transformed plant health, improved nutrient efficiency, and strengthened confidence in what the soil can do when it’s truly alive.

Eastern Kansas
In 2025, this farmer in Eastern Kansas averaged 127 bushel per acre corn using 75 pounds of nitrogen or less with no synthetic phosphorus or potassium, and some of his healthiest fields produced the same yield with just 32 pounds of nitrogen, far below the conventional recommendation of roughly 100 pounds.
Soil and SAP testing reflected stronger plant health and improved nutrient mobility, showing nutrients were available when the crop needed them. By pairing Elevate's MicroCarb with herbicide applications, he also reduced glyphosate rates from the typical 32+ ounces to 20 ounces or less without sacrificing weed control or causing the crop stress often seen after spraying.
His dryland corn finished five bushels above the county average, but he claims the biggest gains have been below ground. Improved soil structure and water infiltration have reduced ponding after rains, while years of biological management have steadily increased nutrient efficiency.
"This wasn't a flip-the-switch change," he says. "It was a system built over years."
His advice to other growers is simple: "Approach it as a system. There's no silver bullet. Focus on profitability more than flashy yield."
After more than five years without synthetic phosphorus or potassium, his experience demonstrates that when soil biology is supported, greater efficiency, not just more inputs, can drive long-term profitability.
