Celebrating the Life of Jason Garcia
We lost Jason Garcia this week, his life cut short way too soon.
When Jason joined BHN as an agronomist in 2019, it was apparent early on that we had hired a special guy. Jason was ENTHUSIASTIC! Always. You just couldn’t have a conversation with Jason without hearing a great story about someone in his family, about a good friend or customer in Plant City, Fla., or about something special that had happened in a customer’s field.
Last year we put out an internal Employee Spotlight on Jason, which had this to say: [Read more…]

Las plantas de producción de fertilizantes de Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (BHN), fabricante de los productos de protección y nutrición de cultivos Huma Gro® y Fertilgold® Organics, han obtenido el certificado de Responsible Ag.

El certificado exige que la planta cumpla con criterios basados en normas exigentes, implemente medidas de seguridad líderes de la industria y demuestre que la seguridad de la planta es la mayor prioridad de la empresa.
La organización de certificación Responsible Ag fue fundada en 2014 para promover el bienestar público al ayudar a las agroempresas a cumplir con las normas federales de seguridad, salud y medioambiente en lo que respecta a la manipulación y almacenamiento de fertilizantes. La participación en el programa garantiza a los miembros de la comunidad, empleados y equipos de respuesta ante emergencias que las agroempresas participantes trabajan de manera responsable.

Bio Huma Netics Achieves Responsible Ag Certification
Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (BHN), the maker of Huma Gro® and Fertilgold® Organics crop nutrition and protection products, has achieved Responsible Ag certification for its fertilizer manufacturing facilities.
Responsible Ag is the only program in the nation that provides a voluntary comprehensive assessment of a fertilizer manufacturer’s compliance with federal regulations. Certification requires that a facility meet stringent regulatory-based criteria, implement industry-leading safety and security measures, and demonstrate that facility safety is the company’s highest priority.
The Responsible Ag certifying organization was founded in 2014 to promote the public welfare by assisting agribusinesses to comply with federal environmental, health, safety, and security rules regarding the safe handling and storage of fertilizer products. Participation in the program assures community members, employees, and emergency responders that participating agribusinesses are acting responsibly.
BHN President and CEO Lyndon Smith said, “Achieving Responsible Ag certification demonstrates to our community and our customers that we are a very safe and responsible fertilizer manufacturer. We take great pride in our production processes, and we take every step available to demonstrate that our products are consistent, of high quality, and are safely and responsibly produced.” Frank Pidgeon, BHN Senior Director of EHSS/Quality Control, said, “The Responsible Ag audit was very thorough and was an excellent mechanism for ensuring that we were in full compliance with all federal fertilizer manufacturing safety and handling regulatory requirements. It’s great that we can offer this third-party certification to our employees and to our community as objective evidence that safety is BHN’s highest priority and that we put our safety commitment into daily action.”

Se encuentra disponible la última edición del boletín informativo de BHN, The Solution.
Nos encanta escuchar las historias que tienen para contar las personas que utilizan nuestros productos y algunas de ellas las incluimos en esta edición de The Solution. Comenzamos con un informe de Holden Research and Consulting sobre cómo el uso de determinados productos de Huma Gro® en fresas condujo a un rendimiento de la inversión de más de $8.400/hectárea. ¡Increíble! Tan sorprendente como el informe de Plant Sciences que demuestra la eficacia de Promax® en el control de 8 patógenos de la fresas. Evidentemente, Huma Gro® y las fresas tienen una gran afinidad.
En nuestra sección de Probiotic Solutions® informamos sobre un estudio de caso que involucra a un pequeño pueblo de Nuevo México que necesita reducir el fango en la laguna de su sistema de tratamiento de aguas residuales para cumplir con los requisitos estatales. Después de utilizar Bio Energizer® por 300 días se redujo el fango al punto de que el pueblo recuperó su capacidad de manejo del caudal entrante y pudo cumplir con los requisitos de la autorización sin dragar.
En la página final compartimos algunos videos de Colombia, América del Sur, de publicaciones de grupos de Huma Gro® en WhatsApp. Cualquier historia que involucre a una mula tiene que ser interesante, y el video que muestra la aplicación foliar manual de Breakout® en el arroz en San Jacinto del Cauca no defrauda.
También anunciamos los catálogos nuevos de Huma Gro® en inglés y en español y actualizamos el catálogo de Huma Gro® Turf, y el lanzamiento de la versión en español de nuestro blog de Huma Gro® en https://humagro.com/category/espanol/: esperamos que este blog sirva para acercar incluso a más personas a las conversaciones sobre Huma Gro®.
