The United States is the world’s leading soybean producer and the second-leading exporter with soybeans comprising about 90 percent of U.S. oilseed production. However, in this competitive market with estimates of inputs at all time highs, analysts are projecting lower profits in 2022. Many farmers are looking to find new ways to manage rising input costs.
Growthful™ is a low cost, auxiliary soil amendment that helps you grow more, faster and can easily be added to your current cultivation application methods.
Case Study: Walton Farms
Walton Farms is a family-owned business in the thumb of Michigan that rotates crops between corn and soybeans regularly. From 2017-2019, they farmed corn on multiple farms that totaled 2,300 acres. In 2020, Walton Farms switched from corn to soybeans on all acreage.
The 2016 harvest averaged a little over 50 bushels per acre. Walton Farms is progressive and after presenting Growthful’s benefits, the farmers decided to apply Growthful products on all acreage—first with burndown and then followed by in-furrow.
If you want to maximize your yield, I strongly recommend that you give this new product Growthful a try.
I applied it to my soybeans in 2020, and the results were spectacular. We averaged over 70 bushels per acre and in some places saw readouts of 100 bushels per acre while harvesting.

- Soybean plants appeared healthy from the first sprout
- The inter-nodal spacing showed tighter spaces between pods
