Technical Podcast Episode 11: Ag Economy Overview and 2026 Watchouts
Low returns, high input costs and a murky trade environment have plagued many growers this year, but there’s at least one brighter spot for agriculture heading into 2026.“Since September, we’ve seen some adjustments to the federal interest rate, and the downstream effects will impact farmers,” commented Redox Chief Financial Officer, Scott Moulton. “Right now, farmers are spending for their operating lines - getting funding for next year’s crop. Rates in recent years have been upwards of 8 percent. I can see that coming down with what the fed rate is doing. We should see some decreases coming in 2026, and equipment interest rates should soften as well.”With volatile to higher prices for N, P and K, Moulton said many growers will seek ways to increase efficiency with inputs. Redox technology, including RDX-N®, is specially designed to help growers optimize inputs, while maintaining or enhancing yield and quality.

Technical Podcast Episode 10: Agronomic Success through Plant Charge Balance, RAM and RDX-N®
Sometimes in farming, more isn’t always better. Plant nutrition is a classic example where quality trumps quantity.Plant charge balance is crucial to yield and quality. It’s not pounds per acre, but charge per acre that matters most. Redox Active Molecules (RAM) balance plant charge by donating or accepting electrons. RAM are part of every product at Redox Bio-Nutrients.Our growing understanding of successful farming is evidenced by RDX-N, patented proven technology that replaces 50 percent of synthetic nitrogen, while maintaining yields and enhancing crop quality.“We have a molecule or molecules in our extraction process of the botanical extracts that is more powerful than anything I have ever seen,” remarked Redox owner and CEO, Darin Moon.Moon said his optimism for the company and technological advancements has never been greater.

Brett Meyer – Effective Nitrogen Replacement with RDX-N®
Nitrogen is the most used macronutrient and has long been crucial to abundant crops. New understandings indicate there are ways to reduce nitrogen use while maintaining yield and quality, as well as improving the environment. Our patented new technology RDX-N® is changing this landscape in an unprecedented way. A small amount of RDX-N, added along with liquid nitrogen applications, replaces up to 50 percent of the nitrogen needed for yield and quality. “The results are going to blow you away,” said Brett Meyer, fifth-generation grower and founder of Meyer Seeds in Torrington, Wyoming. Meyer produced a strong corn crop with less liquid nitrogen this season, thanks to including RDX-N.Following the positive results, Meyer is comfortable in recommending RDX-N, which is already gaining ground among his network or growers. “If it doesn’t work on our farm, we don’t talk to our customers about it,” Meyer said. “RDX-N is on a lot more acres out here than where we intended, because our tissue samples were coming back so positive that we had faith in it. Everybody that we’ve had include it is seeing the same results. “
