Has anyone heard Dr. Don Flaten give his opinion on this stuff? Now there is a credible soil scientist who is most definitely not in the pocket of anyone.

Don Flaten can't be trusted on any data. He's usually an NDP schill at least when it comes to phosphorus and Lake Winnipeg and farming.
FYI we use Lignohumate and see a return. The investment is small and greatly enhances phosynthesis, root development and even speeds maturity. We use it foliar at .5- .75 L/acre. Most of our soils are a ph of 7.5 - 7.7. There is no benefit on lower ph soil. We have a quarter that is a ph of 5 and we don't use it there.
We currently apply foliar. Canola plants get real excited with humane applied at bolting.
That's my take, my advice is try a bit yourself to see. Leave a check if you want. The investment is small. Don't let sourpuss Tweety dissuade you from giving it a chance. As far as scientists, I've met very few I'd give the time of day to, especially Don Flaten.

Did however find a D. Scott Walker of Manitoba who has a consulting firm. I note this person does not have a doctorate, rather a 2 year diploma in Horticulture from Ontario College.

Also note he is a "Licensed agent of Lignohumate® Technology"
Not exactly unbiased if this it the Dr. Walker we are to learn from.

The most credible experts are the farmers that have used the product, instead of complaining about the product, try the damn product yourself.

This thread was very useful to me. Since nobody can produce any meaningful data this product will be filed in the sake oil drawer.Last edited by biglentil; Apr 14, 2017, 10:54.

Tweety can wait 44 million years to make his own humate, and bgmb you can file humates into a snake oil drawer because it's your choice. In a free country you can make that choice, no use in arguing, just use it or don't. We use the product, we're using foliar and are working towards using granular (just not set up yet). We see the results I mentioned earlier as well as crops that can withstand pesticides better.
