Improving Tank Mix Performance with Nuvano™ Pure

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:01 GMT

Water is the one ingredient every spray application depends on, yet it’s often the most overlooked part of a crop protection or fertility program.

Most growers spend time selecting the right herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and foliar nutrients. But if the water used in the spray tank isn’t conditioned properly, those products may never perform the way they were designed to.

Simply put — poor water quality can limit performance before the application even leaves the sprayer.

Water Quality Matters More Than Many Realize

Many common water sources contain hardness minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and bicarbonates. These minerals can tie up active ingredients in spray solutions, reducing effectiveness and limiting plant uptake.

At the same time, most crop protection products and foliar nutrients perform best in a slightly acidic pH range — typically around 4–6 . Many water sources naturally sit between 6.5 and 8.5 , which can reduce stability and performance of certain products.

This means even a well-planned spray pass can lose efficiency if the water itself is working against you.

Improving water quality isn’t about adding more products — it’s about making sure the products you already invested in can perform the way they should.

Your Chemistry Is Only As Good As Your Water

Some of the most common herbicides in your tank are highly sensitive to water quality — and when conditions aren’t right, you’re leaving performance behind.

Glyphosate (Roundup) performs best when water is properly conditioned and free of hardness, allowing the active ingredient to remain available for uptake.
Glufosinate (Liberty) is more consistent in an acidic environment, where weed control is more reliable.
2,4-D is also more effective in properly conditioned, acidic spray water, with hard water minerals known to interfere with performance at lower rates.

Across the board, better water = better chemistry performance.

Most spray chemistries perform best in an acidic environment, with an ideal target often around pH 4.0. When water sits above that range, stability and performance can begin to drop off.

Where Nuvano™ Pure Fits

Nuvano™ Pure is an advanced water conditioner and spray adjuvant designed to help growers get more performance from their tank mixes by improving water chemistry and spray efficiency.

Rather than replacing products, Nuvano™ Pure helps protect the investment you already have in your spray program.

Key Benefits Include:

pH Optimization

Nuvano™ Pure helps move spray water into a more optimal pH range for many crop inputs. At typical use rates of 1–2 pints per 100 gallons, Nuvano™ Pure can lower spray solution pH by several points, helping stabilize products and support performance.

Hard Water Conditioning

Hard water minerals can interfere with active ingredients. Nuvano™ Pure helps tie up these antagonistic minerals so they cannot reduce product effectiveness.

Improved Coverage and Uptake

Nuvano™ Pure also improves how spray droplets interact with the plant surface. Better spreading and sticking can help active ingredients move into the plant more efficiently.

Water quality is one of the easiest ways to improve spray efficiency without increasing cost per acre. Contact us to test your water and learn how Nuvano™ Pure can help protect your input investments this season.

From Buffalo, TX – Andrew George of WGR Ag Services

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 16:12:36 GMT

Andrew George of WGR Ag Services runs a 2,000-acre cattle operation in Buffalo, Texas. His family has been on the same land for approximately 128 years.

After starting with Sugar Creek Ag products, he began seeing results quickly—even on some of his toughest ground.

“One of the places that we sprayed the product was on an iron ore clay piece of property… it’s about 90 acres. It’s never had any grass in it. Mostly had weeds. It’s been one of our poorest pieces of property.”

“I said, what the hell—let’s just go ahead and spray the whole thing and see what happens.”

“Well within a matter of about four to six weeks, I started getting some phone calls… asking if we had actually planted grass in that field.”

“I drove over there and I couldn’t believe it. It looked like I was growing grass out of rock clay.”

A Program, Not a One-Time Application

“When I talk to people about using Sugar Creek products, it’s not about doing one application. It’s about getting the mindset that you need to get onto this program.”

“The first time you use it… you’re waking everything up.”

“After that, every other time that you spray this stuff, I believe that you’re just feeding the grass and the ground the nutrients that they need.”

For hay production, Andrew follows a consistent approach:

“You cut and bale your hay, you wait till you get about three to four inches of growth, you go out there and you spray it again.”

“Your two primary products are the EARTHQUAKE… and the Forage Factor.”

Performance in Drought Conditions

During the 2022 drought, Andrew saw a difference across his operation.

“At the heaviest point of this drought… we still had 70% of this property was still green.”

“Every other property around us was brown—and it stayed brown.”

After receiving about two inches of rainfall: “We’ve got almost 18 inches of growth in two weeks.”

See It for Yourself

“This is our second year into this. I’m sure we will be doing this for many years to come.”

“If you give us a call… we can show you how we’ve used it. You can come and actually visually look at the place, see how we’ve been putting it out, see what results we’ve been getting.”

Watch the video below to hear Andrew’s full testimonial.

Supporting Alfalfa Regrowth and Soybean Nutrition

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 19:55:19 GMT

Alfalfa and soybeans are very different crops, but they share something important — both are heavy nutrient users that respond well to balanced fertility programs. Whether you’re managing alfalfa after first cutting or supporting soybean performance through the season, potassium and sulfur both play important roles in helping these crops perform.

Understanding where products like DropKick fit into these situations can help growers make better decisions about timing and program design. DropKick is a 4-0-20-8S with 0.5% boron, typically applied at a general rate of 1–2 qt/ac depending on crop needs and program goals.

DropKick on Alfalfa

First cutting removes a significant amount of potassium from alfalfa fields, and those nutrients need to be replaced to support strong regrowth and stand persistence. This is why many growers switch from Forage Factor to DropKick after first cutting.

With its higher potash value, DropKick helps replace nutrients removed by harvest while supporting plant strength and stress recovery. Sulfur also plays a role in nitrogen utilization, helping the plant efficiently use available nutrients to support regrowth.

Many growers position DropKick shortly after first cutting or ahead of the next regrowth cycle as part of their fertility program. Maintaining potassium levels at this stage can help support a stronger leaf-to-stem ratio, which directly impacts forage quality and feed value.

DropKick on Soybeans

Soybeans also respond well to balanced fertility, particularly when it comes to potassium and sulfur. Potassium supports plant health, water movement, and stress tolerance, while sulfur helps support efficient nitrogen utilization during key growth stages.

DropKick can be positioned in soybean programs as part of a planned foliar pass to help maintain nutrient balance and support plant performance. Sulfur can be especially important in helping the plant efficiently utilize nitrogen produced through nodulation.

Applying DropKick with your fungicide pass during reproductive growth can help support pod fill and maximize yield potential. Pairing that application with 4 ounces of NanoPro can help optimize fungicide performance while improving overall plant response.

Pairing DropKick with Sweet ‘n Loam

DropKick applications in both alfalfa and soybeans are commonly paired with Sweet ‘n Loam to help support soil biology and nutrient efficiency. The carbon source helps feed soil microbes, which play a role in nutrient cycling and availability.

Together, they help support both the plant and the soil as part of a complete fertility program.

Building Better Programs

Strong fertility programs focus on timing and how products work together. Whether it’s switching to DropKick after first cutting in alfalfa or positioning it in soybeans, the goal is the same — support soil function and help crops use nutrients efficiently.

If you’d like to learn more about where DropKick fits in your program, contact the Sugar Creek Ag team.

Understanding the Value of Nano-Yield

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 15:46:49 GMT

Sonny Malone shares his perspective on Nano-Yield technologies and how they can help growers get more efficiency out of their existing fertility programs. He discusses how products like NanoN+, NanoPro, and NanoCOTE can support nutrient availability, plant health, and overall crop performance throughout the season.

Watch the full video to hear Sonny’s firsthand thoughts on where these tools fit into a practical, results-driven grower program.

From Henderson, TX — Todd & Trent’s Hay Success With EARTHQUAKE

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 18:49:09 GMT

Todd and Trent Smith of Henderson, Texas operate 3S Cattle Company and have been working with Sugar Creek Ag products as part of their forage program. Upon leasing a new farm for hay production they knew some of the ground hadn’t been fertilized in several years.

This wasn’t a perfect season by any means. Still, the response surprised them.

One of the fields they reference in the video hadn’t seen a proper fertility pass in roughly three years. It used to be a top-producing farm, but over time, that slipped.

Then they made a change.

They ran across it with a balanced forage program including EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic , Forage Factor , Grenade , Brimstone 17 , and DropKick — addressing sulfur needs, potash levels, and supporting overall soil function.

“We ran across that ground with Forage Factor and EARTHQUAKE and Brimstone and DropKick… that field was a little low in sulfur and needed some potash — and I guess it's done a pretty good job, because we’ve had 16% hay out of it.”

Sixteen percent.

On ground that hadn’t been managed that aggressively in years.

Sometimes you wait a full season to see if the change made a difference. That wasn’t the case here.

“All this hay behind us was all Sugar Creek fertilized — and it’s done tremendously well on our first cut…We’ve had 16% hay out of it. Our second cutting was a little better than our first cutting, and we’re making a pretty good third cutting here late in the year.”

The results didn’t just stay in the field, they showed up in the Rusk County Hay Producer competition.

“Trent finished this year third in the show and I finished seventh. Trent’s hay tested over 16%, and it’s really high-quality, premium type hay.”

What Made the Difference?

EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic is designed to support soil health and improve nutrient availability. In grass hay and pasture programs, that can translate into stronger early growth, improved nutrient uptake, and more consistent performance from cutting to cutting — especially when conditions aren’t ideal.

For Todd and Trent, it wasn’t about chasing a miracle. It was about building a program that addressed deficiencies and supported the soil. And the field responded.

If you’re looking at your hay or pasture acres and wondering how to improve nutrient efficiency and overall performance, it may be time to rethink the program — not just the product.

Reach out to Sugar Creek Ag to learn more about incorporating EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic into your forage program.

8th Generation Farm Family in Shelbyville, KY: Tucker Farms

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 13:36:50 GMT

Ray and Stephanie Tucker and their son Nathan farm 5000 acres in north central Kentucky, an 8th generation farm family.

The attention to soil health has been there throughout. “My grandfather said we need to take care of the land so it can take care of us and future generations and that has been our focus. We utilize Earthquake Liquid Humic and Sweet ‘n’ Loam to help us achieve the yields we want.”

“The foliar products from Sugar Creek Ag allow us to push yields when conditions allow. We had some wheat last year that the insurance adjuster estimated was about 30 bushels, we pushed it throughout the season and it averaged well above 80 bushels!”

The Tucker family is also very involved with The Battle of The Bluegrass Pulling Series, and you can find Ray and Nathan aboard “Blood, Sweat, and Gears” at the Full Pull Line!

Setting Up Grass Hay & Pasture for Success at Green-Up

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 23:05:03 GMT

When it comes to grass hay and pasture production, early-season management sets the tone for the entire year. What happens at green-up influences stand density, forage response, nutrient efficiency, and ultimately how much you can get out of every acre.

Building a strong forage program isn’t about chasing a single pass or product. It’s about supporting soil function, nutrient availability, and plant health from the start. If soil conditions or nutrient availability limit growth at green-up, those challenges can carry through the rest of the season and impact both yield and forage quality.

That’s why many hay and pasture growers focus on programs that support early nutrient efficiency and soil function — not fertilizer alone.

In many hay and pasture systems, early fertility focuses heavily on nitrogen to drive growth. While nitrogen can increase biomass, it doesn’t always improve forage quality or feed value. Bigger plants don’t automatically mean better hay. In some cases, bulk without balance can lead to more waste and less efficient utilization.

A Proven Green-Up Pairing:

EARTHQUAKE + Forage Factor

Many growers apply EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic and Forage Factor at green-up as part of a program-based approach.

EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic is designed to support soil structure and condition soils so applied nutrients — and nutrients already present — remain more available to the plant. It can also help with moisture retention and compaction issues that commonly limit early forage growth.

Forage Factor supplies key micronutrients that are often overlooked in hay and pasture programs. Even when deficiencies aren’t visually obvious, these “hidden hungers” can limit forage quality, regrowth, and overall performance.

Applied together, this pairing helps promote consistent nutrient utilization and supports forage performance as the season progresses. This approach focuses on building resilience and efficiency early, rather than reacting later in the season.

Across regions like Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and East Texas, hay and pasture production plays a critical role in livestock operations. While conditions vary, the principle remains the same: early attention at green-up helps establish forage production up for a stronger season.

Early-season decisions matter. Green-up is one of the best opportunities to influence forage quality, regrowth potential, and overall efficiency for the season ahead. Talk with your local Sugar Creek Ag dealer to learn how EARTHQUAKE and Forage Factor can fit into a hay and pasture program built for long-term performance.

“My pH is good. Why do I need calcium?”

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 13:40:09 GMT

A crop may still require calcium even when soil pH is within the optimal range because soil pH alone does not indicate how much calcium is actually available to plants or how effectively it is taken up. While pH reflects soil acidity or alkalinity, it does not measure exchangeable calcium levels. In sandy or highly weathered soils, calcium can be easily leached, resulting in low reserves despite a favorable pH. As a result, crops may experience calcium deficiency even though standard soil tests suggest suitable growing conditions.

Calcium uptake can also be limited by competition from other positively charged nutrients in the soil. High levels of potassium, magnesium, sodium, or ammonium can interfere with calcium absorption at the root surface. This situation often arises in fields receiving heavy manure applications, intensive potassium fertilization, or repeated use of dolomitic lime. Even when total soil calcium is adequate, nutrient imbalance can prevent crops from accessing enough calcium to meet physiological needs.

Environmental and plant physiological factors further complicate calcium nutrition. Unlike many nutrients, calcium moves within plants primarily through transpiration and cannot be redistributed from older tissues to new growth. Conditions that reduce transpiration—such as high humidity, cool temperatures, low air movement, or irregular soil moisture—limit calcium transport to developing leaves and fruit. Rapid growth driven by high nitrogen fertility can also increase demand beyond the plant’s ability to supply calcium, leading to disorders like blossom end rot or leaf tip burn.

Root health and soil structure play a critical role as well. Calcium is absorbed mainly at actively growing root tips, so compaction, root disease, shallow rooting, or subsoil calcium deficiencies can restrict uptake even when topsoil pH is ideal. In such cases, calcium deficiency reflects limitations in root access and nutrient movement rather than a pH problem. Together, these factors explain why calcium management requires attention to soil chemistry, water management, root conditions, and crop growth dynamics—not pH alone.

How do I know if I need to be using Cal-zone ? Base Saturation Soil Test!

If your base saturation is below 60%, then apply 4 to 5 gallons per acre.
If above 60%, apply 3 to 4 gallons per acre.

Cal-zone is not a recommended replacement for ag lime. It is readily available calcium and can be applied by itself or with liquid nitrogen applications.

The Power of Sugar-Based Nutrition

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 18:53:50 GMT

From residue breakdown to reproductive growth, energy drives everything in your crop system. Sugar-based nutrition helps power soil biology and supports the plant during key growth stages, making it a simple addition that can deliver meaningful results in the field.

Feeding Your Microbes

Healthy soils start with active biology. Sugars derived from cane molasses act as a carbon-rich food source for soil microorganisms, energizing microbial populations and increasing biological activity. This boost leads to improved nutrient cycling, faster residue breakdown, and more nutrients becoming plant-available—supporting long-term soil health and overall system efficiency.

Fueling Your Crops

When crops face stress or high energy demand, they need readily available fuel. Sugar isn’t just for microbes—it’s also direct energy for the plant. Cane molasses supplies easily accessible carbohydrates that help crops maintain metabolic processes during critical growth stages, without pulling from the plant’s own carbohydrate reserves.

Sugar Creek Ag’s sugar-based products are flexible and can be added to starter applications, liquid nitrogen, or foliar programs—alone or alongside other nutrients.

Sweet ‘n’ Loam

Sweet ‘n’ Loam feeds both the plant and the soil with sugar derived from cane molasses.

Limiting Factors of Nutrient Availability

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 17:10:47 GMT

Several factors that can limit the availability of nutrients in the soil include:

Soil structure (sandy soils or heavy clay soils)
Lack of moisture – nutrients must be in a solution form (moisture) in order to be absorbed by the root.
Compaction and soil pH can also influence the availability of soil applied nutrients.
Lack of organic matter and inactive soil biology can limit nutrient availability.
Nutrients can be “tied up” in the soil with other elements and not be available to the plant.
Waterlogged soils and cool temperatures can also affect nutrient availability.

Have you ever asked yourself … “How much of the fertilizer I applied, is actually getting utilized by the crop?” We recommend a base saturation soil test and to amend accordingly. And we also suggest THINK SOIL FIRST! Utilize products that will help you:

Improve soil structure
Convert organic matter
Increase moisture holding capacity of your soil
Address compaction issues
Enhance soil biology
Allow for better drainage
Better utilize applied nutrients

What is Earthquake Liquid Humic?

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 17:04:04 GMT

To best answer this question, it helps to understand the process of humification. Humification is the natural conversion of organic matter into humic substances by microorganisms in the soil. To a certain degree, this is happening in your fields (the breakdown of organic matter) and further supports the practice of using cover crops and no-till farming. A smaller scale example of this is a compost pile (humus) that is eventually added to a garden. The decomposition of organic matter in soil is dependent on several factors, including compaction levels, moisture content of the soil, the temperature of the soil, and active soil biology.

Humic acids could be described as “ancient humus” and are the final result of the breakdown of organic materials. Most commercially available humic substances are derived from leonardite coal, which is a highly oxidized brown coal and has a high humic acid content. Humic acids are a complex of organic acids and molecular functional groups that carry a net negative charge, acting as a chelating agent in your soil, causing insoluble and unstable compounds in the soil to remain available for plant uptake. Understand that humic substances, which are often just referred to as “humic acid,” consist of both humic and fulvic acids; both different in molecular size, function, and solubility.

Humic substances have demonstrated the ability to:

• Chelate (bind) soil nutrients

• Improve nutrient uptake

• Stimulate soil biological activity

• Solubilize minerals

• Improve soil structure

• Improve water holding capacity

• Improve root development

• Enhance germination

Healthy Soil Drives Higher Yields

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 20:37:42 GMT

Optimizing soil health is vital for higher yields. Growers must support the physical, biological, and chemical properties of the soil in order to improve its structure, water productivity and storage, nutrient cycling, and overall crop productivity. Often overlooked, biological integrity or soil health, driven by active microbes, is the key to improve soil health and quality.

Soil microbes, particularly bacteria and fungi, play a crucial role in enhancing soil structure, water holding capacity and nutrient cycling. However, in many fields, around 75% of these microbes remain dormant or asleep. Adopting practices like reduced tillage, cover cropping, incorporating manures and compost, utilizing carbon products such as humic acid to improve soil structure and nutrient retention, or feeding the existing biology in the soil can aid in improving soil biology and soil health. Products like PhycoTerra®, a microalgae-based solution, provide a balanced nutritional boost, breaking microbes out of dormancy and revitalizing soil health.

Expert advice from retailers, certified crop advisors, or agronomists is essential. Similar to nutrient inputs, a holistic approach – diversifying inputs based on mode of action and environmental needs – increases success in the field.

Think Soil First!

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 21:45:41 GMT

Soil Life is important! The microbes in your soil contribute to: breaking down organic matter, increasing the availability of nutrients, carbon sequestration, moisture retention, drainage, soil structure, and suppression of pests and pathogens. They work hand-in-hand with root systems!

Soil Compaction can inhibit soil life by creating anaerobic soil conditions (lack of oxygen). Soil compaction limits root growth and the availability of water and nutrients, ultimately reducing plant productivity and crop yields.

Use EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic to improve the environment in which microbes live.

Use products like Sweet ‘n’ Loam and REVAMP to feed them.

Making Texas Green Again!

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 21:41:56 GMT

2025 will be year number five in Texas for Sugar Creek Ag. Growing grass in the Lone Star State can be difficult, whether it is too wet or, more times than not … too dry! Hay growers and pasture managers who have been using EARTHQUAKE, Forage Factor, BrimStone 17, DropkicK, and PaybacK will tell you: It is not about the quick fix, but the long haul. Yes, they are seeing results after one or two applications, but the long-term effect of improving the soil and establishing a healthy root system is where the difference is made: Still green when other fields are turning brown, getting an extra cutting when others are done for the year, or extending grazing time by several weeks, are just a few of the things we hear from our guys in Texas.

Our dealer network in Texas is very knowledgeable when it comes to applying Sugar Creek Ag products. They will tell you it is cost-effective and easy to use, and when used as part of a program, you will have more and better hay. Our dealers know this because they also use the products on their own farms and ranches, often sharing the results on our Facebook page. Want to ask them about their experiences and get product to try yourself? Feel free to contact them.

Andrew has been a dealer since 2021 and coined the phrase, “Making Texas Green Again!” “At times, my cows can’t keep up and I have to cut and bale my pastures!”

Perry Galloway Speaks

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 18:39:53 GMT

If Perry Galloway sounds familiar to you, it may be because you have seen him on the agricultural series The Podfathers and, most recently, Top Crop TV. Perry is a sixth-generation farmer from Gregory, Arkansas, where he grows corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton.

“A lot of factors contribute to us reaching our best yields, but I am a big believer in the use of inoculants, the benefits of fungicides, and paying attention to soil health.”

-Perry Galloway • Gregory, AR

Perry was one of the first high-yielding growers to embrace the use of humics and other products that promote soil health.

In addition to EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic , other products from Sugar Creek Ag that he incorporates into his program includes NanoN+ with his liquid nitrogen applications, NanoPro with his fungicides and plant growth regulators, as well as foliar feeding DropKick on his corn, beans, and cotton.
