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.

In this episode, Jim Halbeisen and James Schiltz break down the science, strategy, and real-world success behind foliar feeding—a core part of the Growers Program.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why phosphorus fuels plant energy
✅ How calcium improves soil structure and biology
✅ When and how to apply foliar sprays for maximum effect
✅ Why water quality matters (and how to use the jar test)
✅ Real examples from growers using foliar feeding to overcome stress, drought, and poor soil
Whether you're growing sweet corn, peaches, or row crops—this episode explains how foliar feeding doesn’t just feed the plant, it powers up the entire soil system.
