What is Farm Forever?
Innovation has always been farming’s greatest tradition. Adapting, improving and finding smarter ways forward is how farms are passed to the next generation. Agriculture moved from hand irrigation to sprinklers, from horses to tractors, and from notebooks to remote sensing.
The next innovation? Working with microbiology.
Farmers who want to continue or grow their farm’s legacy are feeding beneficial microbiology in the soil and on the plant that feeds crops. PhycoTerra® was built to help as many farmers as possible support their microbiology so they can #FarmForever.
By taking care of our greatest asset, the soil, let’s empower future generations to Farm Forever. Here’s how.
The Science Behind the Mission
Feeding your soil biology isn’t optional. It’s the key to better yields and healthier ground every year. Well-fed microbes release more NPK, build better soil structure and make planting easier by breaking down residue.
There are four spheres of influence on every farm. They’re the areas around your seed (spermosphere), roots (rhizosphere), plant (phyllosphere) and residue (detritusphere). Microbes in each sphere play a specific role in supporting crops. Each sphere is connected, so feeding one group of microbes positively supports microbes in other spheres.
PhycoTerra gives your soil biology a balanced food source to get to work on your farm.
The impact? Growers commonly tell us that after using PhycoTerra their yields are better, soil is healthier, and their fields are ‘full of life again!’

What Sets Us Apart
You’ve got plenty of ways to improve soil health, support yields and manage residue. What’s unique about PhycoTerra compared to manure, compost, cover crops, other biologicals, tillage and more?
Here’s why farmers are choosing PhycoTerra:
1. Microbial Food,
Not Bugs in a Jug
PhycoTerra isn’t lab grown bugs, it’s a microalgae that feeds the native microbes already in your soil and on your plant so they can go to work for your crops.
2. Ease of Application
The last thing you need is another step to your process or another pass in the field. PhycoTerra products are highly mixable, shelf stable and compatible with just about everything.
3. Faster Residue
Breakdown
We help growers break down their residue faster so they can plant up to two days earlier with smoother field operations and better nutrient cycling–without disrupting soil.
4. Healthier Soils,
Season After Season
While you’ll see yield gains this year, the long-term payoff is improved soil structure and biology that delivers year after year. Feeding microbes is a practice with compounding interest.
5. Developed in the Lab,
Proven in the Field
Our unique and patented strain of microalgae is tested, verified, and scaled for practical farm use. Backed by five years of independent trials across multiple states and countries, PhycoTerra has proven ROI in the field results for corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, potatoes and more.
6. A Partner
On Your Farm
Just like you, we’re here for the long haul. We’re not another flash in the pan, or a farming trend. We’re here to work with you for years to ensure you can farm forever.
With PhycoTerra, you’re not just buying another input. You’re investing in a tool that helps your microbiology work for you today, tomorrow, and in the years to come.
This Season Results
While the idea of farming forever is ‘the dream’ it doesn’t mean much if it doesn’t improve your yields this season. While PhycoTerra has a positive impact on your farm year over year, it also helps your crops reach their full yield potential now.
CROP | ROI | YIELD |
Corn | 6:1 | +11 BU/AC |
Soybeans | 8:1 | +3 BU/AC |
Wheat | 4:1 | +5 BU/AC |
Cotton | 10:1 | +147 LBS/AC |
Potatoes | 11:1 | +3214 LBS/AC |

Join the Movement
Farming forever isn’t about labels like “organic” or “regenerative.” It’s about keeping your soil alive and productive so your farm can stay in the family. The only label that matters to use is your name on your farm.
Secure your farm’s legacy. Talk with someone in your area who knows your crops and soils. Each farm is unique, let us help you see how PhycoTerra fits your operation.
