The Growers Mineral Podcast
Welcome to The Growers Mineral Podcast—a show for farmers who want to get more from their soil, inputs, and bottom line.
Brought to you by Growers Mineral Corp., this podcast dives into the science and stories behind Growers Mineral Solutions (GMS)—a noncorrosive 10-20-10 liquid crop nutrient used in the Growers Program. GMS is easy to handle, safe to apply, and one of the few products on the market that helps farmers meet CAFO and nutrient management regulations while still increasing productivity.
We’ll hear from real farmers, field reps, and agronomists who are using GMS and high-calcium lime to build better soils, grow higher-energy crops, and improve long-term soil structure. These conversations cover plant nutrition, input efficiency, yield improvements, and what it really takes to make smart agronomic decisions in today’s environment.
This isn’t organic farming—it’s better farming. It’s about making practical, science-based improvements that pay off in the field.
If you're interested in:
- Boosting crop energy and quality
- Maximizing fertilizer efficiency
- Improving soil health through lime and balanced nutrition
- Navigating environmental regulations while staying profitable
…then you're in the right place.
Growers Mineral has been helping farmers succeed since 1955.

Feeding the Soil: A Farmer’s Take on the Growers Program | Growers Mineral Podcast
In this episode, Jim Halbeisen sits down with central Iowa farmer David Armstrong, who’s been using the Growers Mineral program for over 30 years. David shares why he believes feeding the soil biology is the key to healthier crops, better cattle performance, and long-term sustainability.
Hear firsthand how he uses 2x2 and in-furrow application, why available calcium matters more than total calcium, and what happened when he applied 50 tons of gypsum per acre—just to prove a point. David’s approach challenges the conventional model and puts results first, from tissue quality to animal health to shelf life in produce.
If you’re looking for a program that’s built on observation, results, and true soil function—this is the conversation for you.
