Magnetic Seed Enhancement
The Tuchscherer family owns and operates Causeway Farms in Tramping Lake Saskatchewan and they farm approximately 5,800 acres of dryland grains. Les and his son Collin perform a lot of on farm trials and in 2025 Les Tuchscherer reached out in regards to using a Maximum H2O magnetic seed treatment device to enhance his dry seed as he fills the cart for their seed drill. Yes, simply passing his seed through the Max H2O Seed Maximizer before planting with no water or any other additives involved.
Since we restructure water at the molecular level we can energize and restructure the moisture within the seed to make it more bioavailable and kick start the protein development and germination process. This typically results in a faster emergence, higher emergence rate (see University of Idaho Study), accelerated growth, and a more dominant plant. The key of this trail was to determine whether it results in healthier crops and possibly increased yields.

Summary
Every test plot of magnetically enhanced seed exhibited a visible difference and performed better than the control. The return on investment was approximately 20 X In the first year alone.
These results are consistent with previous seed treatment trials but were validated with a well calibrated weigh cart at Causeway farms.
