In this episode, North Dakota farmer Adrian Kieffer joins the TeraGanix Podcast to share how shifting to a biology-first approach transformed his operation. After eliminating high-salt, in-furrow liquid fertilizers and switching to 100% beneficial microbes, he saw stronger root growth, improved soil structure, organic matter levels rise to 6–8%, and an 11–12 bushel increase in corn yields.

Adrian breaks down how he achieved profitability using just 0.5–0.6 lbs of nitrogen per bushel, why water quality and reduced tillage matter, and how focusing on soil biology is helping him overcome yield plateaus and build long-term resilience.
