The Growers Mineral Podcast

Improving Soil, One Field at a Time | Mike Bulcher Interview

Growers Mineral

In this episode, we sit down with Ohio farmer Mike Bulcher, whose family has used the Growers program since 1958. Mike shares how a chance encounter with soil expert Doc Tiedjens changed everything—introducing a radical idea at the time: “If you don’t like your soil, you can change it.”

From applying lime at surprising rates to foliar feeding techniques and soil biology, Mike walks us through decades of practical experience on his corn, soybean, hay, and cattle farm. He explains why Growers remains his go-to fertilizer—and how the results continue to speak for themselves.

If you're a farmer looking to improve your soil health, reduce input costs, and hear from someone who’s done it for generations, this episode is for you.
