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.

Floods, Frost, and Farming: Gerald Hursh Talks Real Challenges in Agriculture
In this episode, we sit down with Gerald Hursh, a long-time Growers customer and Lancaster County farmer with deep roots in both crop production and custom spraying. Gerald shares stories from his recent flood relief trip to Kentucky, offers practical tips for frost protection, and weighs in on the challenges and changes in modern agriculture—from nitrogen overuse to the bird flu outbreak affecting poultry growers.
With decades of experience, Gerald talks about:
The economics of farming in PA, where land goes for up to $60K an acre
How his church group stepped up to help flood victims
Why dry fertilizer might be hurting more than helping
His longtime use of Growers Mineral Solutions
And the quiet but serious impacts of Avian Flu
Whether you're a Growers customer or just interested in honest farm talk from the field, this episode is full of real-world insight.
