Frontier Fields Program From Mosaic Biosciences Returns for Second Season to Share Farmers’ Authentic Experiences With Biologicals
Every growing season is an opportunity for farmers to try something new and learn more about how different products perform on their operations. And, as biologicals remain one of the fastest-growing segments in agriculture, many farmers are especially curious about how these products work, and why.
To help answer these questions, Mosaic Biosciences is continuing its Frontier Fields program, a docuseries on YouTube, for a second season to elevate the authentic opinions and experiences of farmers as they discover how Bio Crop Nutrition products work on their farms.
The inaugural season of Frontier Fields garnered more than 1.7 million views on YouTube as six farmers shared real-world insights about the yield advantages and return on fertilizer investment biologicals can provide while they trialed BioPath, a Bio Crop Nutrition product from Mosaic Biosciences. On average, the season one farmers observed a yield advantage of 5.12 bu/ac and an ROI of 3.9:1.
The second season of Frontier Fields will follow six new farmers from planting through harvest as they actively trial BioPath or PowerCoat from Mosaic Biosciences, on corn. The six farmers all represent different-sized farms and different levels of experience in using biologicals. Throughout season two, the Frontier Fields farmers will share their honest perceptions and experiences of using Bio Crop Nutrition products and how they impact a crop’s success.
“At Mosaic Biosciences, our biologicals undergo rigorous in-lab and on-farm testing to understand how factors like soil types, moisture levels, growing conditions, and more can affect if and how well a biological product works,” said Matt Sowder, Director of Field Solutions at Mosaic Biosciences. “With the continuation of the Frontier Fields program, we will gain additional insights and data to further our knowledge of where and how biologicals work best to optimize yield potential and increase farmers’ return on fertilizer investment.”
As the farmers trial BioPath or PowerCoat and discover the potential that bacillus-based plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) products offer, each of their stories will come to life through candid updates via audio, photos and videos, all housed on FrontierFields.com. Visitors can follow along throughout the year to track the farmers’ progress and experiences in the field.
The six 2025 Frontier Fields farmers include:
- Austin Blair (Iowa)
- Makenna Green (Illinois)
- Brian Herbek (Nebraska)
- Marc Kaiser (Missouri)
- Harmon Wilts (Minnesota)
- Caleb Wolters (Wisconsin)
“The Mosaic Biosciences Frontier Fields program provides valuable data and insights about bio crop nutrition products to farmers around the country,” said Sowder. “We know some farmers are skeptical about biologicals and want proof that bio crop nutrition products work before they are willing to give them a try. With the real-world data and testimonies from our Frontier Fields program and the trial data on our TruResponse platform, we are committed to providing full transparency to farmers so they have the objective information they need to make the best decision for their farm.”
