Pivot Bio is excited to launch its new series Pivotal People – Inspired by Real Farm Heroes focusing on farmers who inspire us for their grit, determination and purpose. For Chris Kolkhorst, a former standout baseball player in South Texas, it’s not about the being the biggest and most successful farm in the region, it’s about building a special bond with his son, Coy. We are excited to share their story and others in the coming months.

This strip-till #grower added PROVEN #G3 to his anhydrous-based program to help support #nitrogen availability through the season. The G3-treated area showed more uniform ear development, with more kernels and greater kernel weight contributing to higher yield. PROVEN G3 delivers an always-on, weatherproof source of nitrogen that stays locked in at the root, helping growers maintain nitrogen availability through changing weather conditions. Head over to pivotsprovenit.com to see final results. #corn #agtech #illinois

Over 40,000 meals were packed for Iowa families during the annual volunteer event at World Food Prize. Our CEO Chris Abbott was one of those volunteers as part of our #OneMillionThanks tour to recognize the farmers who grow our food, fuel, and fiber. Showing up is what makes the real difference and we're grateful we had the opportunity to join the Iowa Hunger Summit while we were on the #BuddySeatTour.

Farmers make a difference beyond the field. In Seward, Nebraska, Paul Duer and Tyson Hegeholz are known for more than farming. From volunteering with emergency services to supporting local schools, fundraising and lending a hand to neighbors, they help make their rural communities stronger. We're proud to recognize Paul and Tyson through our Rooted in Thanks program, celebrating farmers who give back. In their honor, Pivot Bio is making donations to two organizations they selected: the Staplehurst Volunteer Fire Department and Our Redeemer Lutheran School. Thank you, Paul and Tyson, for all you do for your communities! #RootedInThanks #ThanksForFarmers #Agriculture

When nitrogen loss varies across the field, protecting yield potential takes the right strategy. Listen as agronomist Allen Parrish discusses how in this grower’s field, PROVEN G3 added another mode of action to help support ear development and kernel counts, while PPFMS helps move nutrients from stalk to grain to support grain weight. For growers, it’s another way to manage nitrogen variability, protect yield potential and get more from your fertility program.

From the field to harvest, hear how this Central Iowa grower put PROVEN G3 to work in his nitrogen program. 🌽 PROVEN G3 helps growers make their nitrogen program work harder by spoon feeding nitrogen directly on the plant's roots throughout the season to support yield potential and improve nitrogen efficiency. #Harvest26 #PivotBio #PROVENG3 #GrowerPerspective

For this strip-till grower, incorporating pre-plant nitrogen wasn’t an option, making efficient in-season nitrogen delivery even more important. PROVEN G3 provides a weatherproof source of nitrogen right from the start of the season to help support crop growth and nutrient availability, while working alongside the grower’s existing fertility program. For growers, that means another tool to improve nitrogen efficiency, make fertility work harder and protect yield potential.

What's the most important management factor a corn farmer can control when it comes to yield? 🌽 Nitrogen. After more than 40 years studying corn physiology, Dr. Fred Below of the University of Illinois knows just how important nitrogen is to crop growth and productivity. For #GlobalFertilizerDay26, we're sharing a conversation from our One Million Thanks Buddy Seat, where Dr. Below joined his former graduate student and now Pivot Bio colleague, Logan Woodward, Ph.D., to talk about the science behind better nitrogen management. Because when it comes to growing corn, nitrogen is king. 👑 #MadePossibleByFertilizer #PivotBio #Corn

Right source. Right place. Right time. 🌱 Three of the 4Rs of nutrient stewardship, and three reasons University of Illinois crop physiologist Dr. Fred Below sees value in Pivot Bio's PROVEN microbial nitrogen technology. ✅ Right source: Plant-available ammonium. ✅ Right place: Nitrogen fixed directly at the roots. ✅ Right time: Nitrogen supplied during the crop's critical period of peak uptake. In this special #GlobalFertilizerDay26 conversation from our One Million Thanks Buddy Seat, Dr. Below explains how innovative nitrogen-fixing technology can complement conventional fertility programs while aligning with important nutrient management principles. Better science. Smarter crop nutrition. More possibilities for farmers. #MadePossibleByFertilizer #PivotBio #4Rs

For #GlobalFertilizerDay26, we're turning to the science. #Nitrogen is one of the most important investments a #corn #farmer makes. 🌽 But getting more from that investment takes more than just having enough nitrogen. It takes understanding how, when and where the crop needs it. Dr. Fred Below of the University of Illinois shares insights on nitrogen management in this @FarmWeekNow interview on corn #yield potential and the importance of getting #cropnutrition right. A timely conversation about an input that makes so much of modern #agriculture possible. 🎥 Watch the interview: bit.ly/3TZRqpU #MadePossibleByFertilizer #PivotBio

Early-season nitrogen loss can cost growers yield potential and create costly variability across the field. Listen in as agronomist Allen Parrish talks about how Pivot Bio’s new mode of action works alongside your synthetic nitrogen program to help improve nitrogen efficiency, support more consistent crop development and protect yield potential through grain fill, helping you get more from your fertility investment. #farming #illinois #agriculture #agtech

Heavy rainfall can put a strain on a grower’s nitrogen program, and ultimately, yield potential. When this strip-till grower faced nitrogen loss, PROVEN G3 helped fill the gaps by providing a plant available source of nitrogen, resulting in more uniform ears and helping the crop meet it's yield goal. More consistency. More from your nitrogen investment. Harvest results will be rolling in soon from these fields.
