Our organic microbial fertilizer is packed with living biology, natural occurring humic acid, and fulvic acid to support sustainable farming practices that help the Earth and your crops thrive..
Case Study: Boosting Wheat Yields with Earth Medicine in Albion, Idaho
Project Overview
Location: Albion, Idaho – Elevation 4,728 ft above sea level
Crop Type: Wheat
Seasons Covered: 2025 growing season
Earth Medicine Application Rates:
Dryland: 100 lbs/acre applied to 180 acres
Irrigated: 100 lbs/acre applied to 50 acres (following alfalfa crop)
Project Objectives
Evaluate the effect of Earth Medicine Organic Microbial Fertilizer on wheat yields and protein content under both dryland and irrigated conditions.
Determine the return on investment for organic wheat production under challenging weather conditions.
Test the impact of Earth Medicine in conjunction with an alfalfa nitrogen legacy in irrigated systems.
Season & Weather Conditions
The 2025 season was exceptionally dry:
No significant rainfall during the growing season — only three days of light mist recorded.
Average dryland wheat yields in the area during such a season typically range 25–35 bushels per acre.
Implementation
Dryland Wheat (180 acres)
Rate Applied: 100 lbs/acre of Earth Medicine.
Seeding followed standard dryland wheat management.
No supplemental irrigation.
Results:
Yield increased from 25 bushels/acre (historical average) to 34 bushels/acre — a 36% improvement despite drought conditions.
Protein content remained steady at 9.4%, meeting market minimums.
Increased yield covered the cost of both product and application — achieving breakeven in a very dry year.
Irrigated Wheat (50 acres – following alfalfa)
Rate Applied: 100 lbs/acre of Earth Medicine.
Field previously planted to alfalfa, which contributed residual nitrogen.
Full irrigation provided throughout the season.
Farmer Feedback:
"It was a beautiful crop and the best I’ve ever had."
Results:
Yield reached 95–100 bushels/acre, compared to prior averages of 60–70 bushels/acre — a 43–58% increase.
Protein content improved beyond historical averages.
Exceptional crop quality attributed to Earth Medicine + alfalfa nitrogen + irrigation.
Planned 2025/ 2026 Season Adjustments
Planting Exceed seed variety for next wheat crop.
Implementing dual Earth Medicine applications:
Fall: 100 lbs/acre, harrowed in after crop emergence.
Spring: 100 lbs/acre top-dressed for in-season boost.
Key Factors for Success:
Adequate water supply in irrigated systems.
Nitrogen-rich base from previous alfalfa crop.
Soil microbial boost from Earth Medicine.
Conclusion:
The Albion Farm trial demonstrates that Earth Medicine delivers measurable benefits in both irrigated and dryland wheat systems — even under extreme drought conditions.
In dryland, yields increased enough to offset costs in a no-rain year.
In irrigated, yields and protein reached record highs for the farm.
Earth Medicine proves to be a reliable soil health tool for both resilience in tough years and maximized performance in optimal conditions.

What Makes Earth Medicine Special?
-
Fulvic Acid: Nature’s Delivery System
Fulvic acid works hard to move nutrients from the soil into your plants. It:
Makes nutrients easier for plants to absorb, so they grow faster and healthier.
Helps plants handle stress, like drought or heat.
Boosts overall plant health and crop yields.
-
Humic Acid: A Power Boost for Your Soil
Humic acid is like a superfood for your soil. It:
Holds water and nutrients, so plants get what they need even in dry times.
Encourages healthy root growth for stronger, more productive plants.
Balances soil pH, creating the perfect environment for crops.
Living Biology: Bring Your Soil to Life
Earth Medicine is full of beneficial microbes that improve your soil’s health. These tiny helpers:
Break down organic matter to release nutrients your plants can use.
Improve soil structure, making it easier for roots to grow.
Protect plants by outcompeting harmful pests and diseases.
