GMO's are takin over our food supply. Do you know what you are actually eating?

GMO Foods? Do you know what they are? Do you realize that even though you are eating so-called healthy foods you may be eating foods that are harmful to your own body or your child's body?

A lead scientist named Don Huber (ex-professor from Purdue University) released his finding on GMO foods, six months later he was dismissed from Purdue.

Here is a website for you to go to so that you can learn more about GMO's and see how you can tell if the food you are eating has GMO's in them.

The future is NOW with our SumaGrow technology and the question you should be asking your local supermarket or farmer's market grower's is "Are you using SumaGreen?" "Has your farmer tried our SumaGrow technology?"

INC 500 names SumaGreen's Manufactutring company #4 in fastest growing manufacutring plants in USA

Now we are starting to sound like a broken record. Our manufacturing plant, Bio Soil Enhancers, was just named, in the newest issue of INC 500, as one of the top manufacturing companies in not just Mississippi but in the USA. Also named in the top 500 as the fastest growing companies in the USA.

Here are our stats:
# 2 Fastest growing COMPANY in Mississippi
# 4 Fastest growing MANUFACTURING COMPANY in USA
# 297 Fastest growing COMPANY in USA

This says a lot because they take your growth from last years numbers in which is truly amazing. We are growing extremely fast with all of the farmers increasing their usages to their entire farm along with several international countries that are consistently ordering product. Next year is going to be tough to get back on as not many company's make it with the amount of growth we have seen in the last two years. It is hard to increase by these numbers in back to back years. SumaGreen alone grew by 4000% in 2013. SumaGreen has already matched those numbers in 2014with a quarter and a half left to go in the year.


When President of SumaGreen, Steven Elwell, was asked how he felt about the manufacturing plant being named in the top five in the USA again he said "Our factory (Bio Soil Enhancers) has the best and hardest working group doing their best everyday to make sure the quality of SumaGreen and the time fashion getting product out is second to none."  He later added "Imagine trying to ship to over 40+ countries with labels in several different languages and preparing products with the SumaGrow technology to be sent all over the USA.  Now add that we are in the middle of expanding the factory size to become more efficient.  If they get finish off this year the way we are going we (Bio Soil Enhancers) will be even better next year."

What makes us even prouder is that we are made right here in the USA. During a rough economic time for our country and we keep hiring more people while helping more and more people and farmers save money and give us better crops to eat which are much more healthier.

See what all the fuss in about. Email us about our Specials for product orders that will run until September 10th., You do not need to take delivery right now bt tell us when you would like it delivered. Even if it is not until April 2015.

We want everyone to not only save money but give our farmers sustainable farming while helping them increase yields and profits.

Fun in the Snow at our Richie, Montana seminar for SumaGreen

What a success at our seminar in Richie, Montana.  We had farmers representing over 50,000 acres and over 80% of them ordered product before we packed up all of our stuff to leave.  These crops ranged from Winter Wheat, soybeans, lentils, mustard seeds, and peas.What a great day for both the farmers and SumaGreen.

We had presentations from Steven Elwell, President of SumaGreen; Chuck Granthem, Director of Field trials; and Tristan Veverka, Distributor of SumaGreen.   Chuck a 25 year extension agent of Mississippi, talked about all the results SumaGreen has had from all over the USA along with continued field trials that are happening again this year with our Sumagrow technology on crops from corn to tomatoes and green peppers.  Steve talked about the benefits to farmers by using SumaGreen.   Benefits like Increased yields in ALL crops, Decrease input costs, and reduction of fertilizer usage of 50-100%  while having farmers report how our SumaGreen has helped reduce diseases in their crops.  Also while talking about our OMRI (Organic products) listed products for Organic farmers.  Then Tristan showed results from his own farm (now going on their third year of usage) showing increased yields on peas, wheat and mustard seeds from 15-25% while saving money in input costs on his farm.

SumaGreen gets written up about Brix levels increasing in forage

SumaGreen President Steve Elwell was written up in Prairie Star Magazine along with Dr. Allen Williams on how testing at the LHOP ranch in Kansas showed increases in Brix levels.

What this means to the farmer is that not only are the cattle, cows, etc eating healthier grasses but it also means the storage life of the Hay goes up.  Higher Brix levels means that the shelf life of the hay will go up to a week or even a month longer then Hay with lower Brix levels.

What other testing has shown with SumaGreen Forage with Sumagrow inside is that the nutrients in the Hay actually have gone UP in the second and third cuttings.  The future is endless for the SumaGreen products and how SumaGreen can profitably help farmers grown better crops while reducing their production costs.  The increase in yields of 10-20% are usually all that matters but in this case knowing the Hay can last longer with higher Brix levels is giving those farmers extra days to sell their hay. 

What does this mean to the cattle eating the Sumagreen Forage?  Well it is like a person going to a buffet table instead of just being able to eat hamburgers everyday.  You are going to eat more and more often which for the farmer means the Daily average gain on the cattle will go up.  We have reports of cattle gaining between .2 - .5 pounds more a day compared to forage not grown with SumaGreen.  What is that worth to a cattle rancher?

Results have come in from all over the world all showing the increase in yields, Increase in Brix, and higher nutrients in the soil.

Phosphorus Levels show drops while using SumaGreen Ag

During our Farm day in Federalsburg, Maryland at Taylor's Organic Farm SumaGreen displayed the findings of how Phosphorus levels in the soil had dropped while using the SumaGreen Ag with SumaGrow inside product. 

Through Tissue and Soil samples taken on Soybeans, Kale, Cabbage, and Zucchini the Taylor Organic Farm noticed significant drops in their Phosphorus levels.    They originally used the product to reduce their production costs and to get increased yields but in the state of Maryland the Phosphate Regulations are extremely strict.  The Soil samples taken showed a drop of 337 ppm of Phosphorus to 271 ppm.  That is almost a 20% drop in Phosphorus!

Add this to the Organic product costs getting cut by $250 PER ACRE!   Then throw in the increased yields in the following.
Zucchini: 2012--- 404  1/2 bu marketable product per acre
                 2013*--  460  1/2 bu marketable product per acre*
               TOTAL INCREASE of almost 13.8%

Soybeans -- 2013  SumaGreen Ag  -  42.9 bu per acre
                  2013  Control  -   38.1  bu per acre
                 TOTAL INCREASE of 12.5% in yield and $28.20 per acre in profit

Cabbage --  No yield increased data yet but savings on growing the cabbage.
              2013  SumaGreen Ag treatment + 100 lbs of potash = $173.55 per acre
              2013 Organic recommended treatment - cover crop, 2 tons of Microstart 60 (3-2-3) = $405
         TOTAL SAVINGS PRE HARVEST   $231.45 PER ACRE**       

*    Noted the farm said marketable crop.  They normally had given away 5  1/2 bu each week in the past to a food bank because of non-marketable crop.  Also they lost 20% of their SumaGreen Ag crop due to excessive rain.  IF we add in the average for the 20% lost that would bring their total harvest up to 575  1/2 bu (20% is equal to  115 1/2 bu's lost).  This would make their yield increase 39.5%

**  If the yield ends up being the same they would basically PROFIT $231.45 per acre.  If there is ANY positive yield difference that just make them even more profit.   From the results above we would have to imagine they will get a 15%+ increase in yield which would make their profit over $400 per acre on these crops.

Imagine what SumaGreen Ag can do for your crops (corn, watermelons, flowers, turf, etc).  We have similar results in various crops so just ask to see our results.  As we say University tested with Real World Results and Mother Nature approved.

CrabGrass Control

Improper application timing in many cases is the leading cause of crabgrass breakthrough. Applied to late, crabgrass will germinate and begin growth before the herbicide is incorporated into the soil. Applications made to early will have a depleted residual before all weed’s seeds have germinated. This is also where slow release fertilizer could work against you as you may be feeding the weed’s seeds by accident. SumaGreen Turf, which can be applied with herbicides, can help reduce the outbreak of crabgrass by not giving it any room to grow by feeding grass right then and possible smothering out the crabgrass. SumaGreen with SumaGrow inside tends to keep grass all grasses (fescue, bermuda, kentucky bluegrass, St augustine, etc) thicker which makes things more difficult o the crabgrass. Crabgrass can be one of the most difficult weeds to control. There are many factors involved when attempting to control crabgrass by pre-emergent herbicides. These include herbicide selection, application rates, soils, cultural practices, environmental factors and most importantly timing.

When it comes to application timing there are a few theories that are used regarding application. These theories have some relevancy but with changing weather patterns a more precise determination may be necessary. Pre emergent timing is often based off of ornamental plant activity. These plants may include forsythia and lilac. It is often recommended to apply pre emergent herbicides when these plants begin to bloom. This theory is pretty accurate but does the germination of crabgrass really correlate with these plants?

A good example of this would be a short period of above normal temperatures, though misleading. These temperatures may cause ornamental plants to bloom but the soil temperatures may remain the same or increase only a little. Also, the ornamental plants may have certain stresses on them which may delay the blooming period. Another theory is based on the thickness of your lawn that can be used. This theory suggests a thin lawn should have herbicides applied a little early and later applications for thicker lawn in regards to forsythia blooming. As we have all seen crabgrass germinates and thrives in thick healthy turf as well as weak thin turf. For these reasons we must monitor soil temperatures when attempting to time herbicide applications.

By monitoring the soil temperature many turf maintenance companies can accurately plan for crabgrass germination. By most indications crabgrass will germinate when the soil temperatures reach 50o to 55o F for at least 3 days. This is also a good temperature (can apply SumaGreen Turf when temps are above 45o) to apply SumaGreen Turf. An example mentioned above, turf density can affect how the germination can continue to germinate into the summer. With inconsistency in weather patterns crabgrass is germinating earlier in certain areas. Unseasonably warm winter temperatures may cause earlier herbicide application resulting in subsequent applications thereafter. Several Universities base herbicide application timing by the temperatures of the soil.

To confidently make recommendations on application timing it is important to monitor the soil temperatures. The use of soil thermometers to record daily temperatures can provide accurate data for application timing. Soil temperatures should be monitored in the general area near client’s location and can be a valuable service for them as well as other clients in area. Accurate recommendations along with quality herbicides will provide us with the tools we need to insure good crabgrass control.

WHY TURF DISEASES HAPPEN

The traditional disease triangle components of host, pathogen and environment influence the degree of damage that’s experienced from north to south, in residential lawns to commercial lawns. These can be found on all species of turfgrass like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and different types of sod. No matter the setting, turf disease is a challenging malady.

When different seasons of year is added to the mix, some considerations change and some remain the same. One difference between many Spring and Fall conditions is the expectation of the customer for the outcome, or the aesthetic appeal, of the turf. In Fall, the tendency is to just sort of give up when the turf starts to look a little stressed and not take any control measures until their turf or commercial property even gold courses are now damaged as a result, and then it’s the LCO’s fault, not theirs. Here is where the use of SumaGreen Turf can help remediate many of these stresses in the turf compared to the 100% fertilized turf. SumaGreen will help bounce the turf back into shape though the time line on this will vary depending on the time of year and the temperature.

How to avoid this from happening until it is too late

Weather conditions often change quickly and an outbreak can suddenly erupt before you know it. Late Summer and Fall turf diseases are weather dependent maladies. The first step in dealing with these causal agents is to regularly inspect lawns. Some people call it scouting and others call it monitoring. Whatever you call it, trained technicians should always be on the lookout for turf damage when they are on your lawn. 

An Inspection should be thorough, close-up look for disease symptoms.

There are several ways to go about these inspections. With the nature of the variety of services provided being the best way to determine the best approach. It’s not essential that every applicator, or technician become a turfgrass pathologist, just that they are able to identify that something’s wrong with the turf. This requires a thorough investigation.

Another opportunity for inspection can be taken when they are on your lawn for an application of the SumaGreen Turf. When you are applying Fertilizer (if not using SumaGreen Turf) applicators finish with product dispersal and are blowing material from impervious surfaces (such as sidewalks and driveways) back to the turf areas. The Applicator’s observations about different colored turf can be noted and communicated to other staff better versed in diagnosis. This is step is never the case with SumaGreen Turf as it is a liquid application and gives the applicator and even color for the grass and nothing to blow back on grass from sidewalk or driveway. Regardless of the arrangement, regular inspection is a good idea.

 *** Picture taken (above) is what a lawn would look like that is still using granular fertilizers blown back onto the grass from driveway and sidewalk.   See the random brown spots along the sidewalk. This is just another good reason to use SumaGreen Turf with Sumagrow inside.

Research & Development of SumaGreen products with Sumagrow inside. "If it has a root system we can help it"

The technology of SumaGreen products have been expanded and perfected through vigorous research and development over the last 10 years. SumaGreen is manufactured in a 25,000 square
foot manufacturing facility (was named the Second fastest growing manufacturing plant in the USA - #77 in the World -2013) housing specialized laboratories, blending operations and soil testing equipment utilizing the latest in technological offerings.
In addition to in-house laboratory research, extensive field research has been conducted through:

Greenhouse studies (several Universities)
Replicated plot trials
Specialized testing facilities (ARISE research facility in Illinois along with others)

Products containing this technology has been evaluated in various soil types and climate conditions throughout the United States as well as China, India, Vietnam, Honduras, Africa and others. Row crops, forage and hay crops, vegetable crops, fruit and citrus crops, ornamental flowers, and lawns and recreational turfs are reflective of the crops evaluated using this technology.

This technology has been rigorously challenged and is continuously tested to maintain and expand its abilities in the following areas:
Increase crop yields (10-20%)
Improve soil health and fertility
Reduce the toxicity of chemical fertilizers (reductions of 50-100%)
Improve nutrient uptake
Farm/Ranch field trials (over 20 different states)
Enhance the uptake of phosphorus
Increase the movement of iron in the soil
Loosen tight and compacted soils (Due to longer root systems)
Improve the soil moisture condition
Increase organic matter
Increase the water holding capacity (deeper roots= deeper water table)
Hold exchangeable plant nutrients in the soil
Improve micronutrient nutrition by chelation
Improve the aeration of soil

Research results have overwhelming shown that SumaGrow:

Increases crop yields (10-20% Increases)
Reduces fertilizer dependence
 (50-100% decrease in fertilizer and other inputs)
Raises the nutrient density of food stuffs (Higher Brix levels)
Lowers water needs (about a 1/3 less water needed to grow crops compared to fertilizer)


In addition to improved crop performance, this technology has been evaluated for its efficacy in
remediating soil contaminants, including coal refuse, and reducing soil erosion, nutrient leaching
and water run-off.
Our technology has also been tested for its abilities to decrease nitrate leaching and increase the water retention and holding capacity of soil.
Accurate research and development and excellent product performance requires that the quality
control of SumaGreen will be closely monitored. Special care is taken that no external contamination occurs from preparation to bottling and shipment. Research and development remains the driving force behind the unsurpassed technology and will continue to be central in its expanding role in the conservation of agriculture and sustainable farming.

Organic Garlic Farmer from Conneticutt Barry Butler

Here is what Barry Butler, an Organic Garlic Farmer, that has used the product since 2011.  Here is a picture he sent us and comments about the garlic he has been raising using the SumaGreen Ag with Sumagrow inside product. 

Anyway  I must say I was so happy with the results. I grew some of the best garlic bulbs ever.  Also, on a smaller field just one mile away, but using the same seed crop, manures and minerals as my main field but without the SumaGreen.   I did notice that the bulbs with SumaGreen showed a significant increase in size.

We always get people saying does SumaGreen work on flowers,corn, grass, etc.  Well the best answer is if it has a root system there will be benefits better then you can get with fertilizer.  We can reduce the fertilizer usage from 50-100% in ALL crops.   If you want better tasting, better growth, and a cheaper way of growing crops then you should not look anymore and get your SumaGreen today.

Overseeding your Lawn .....A MUST and Why Organic Lawn care is needed

We can all contribute to a better ecosystem, and incorporating organic lawn care in our lawn maintenance plan, is a great place to start. Each year, billions of dollars are spent on chemicals and pesticides for lawn care to keep the more than 30 million acres of turf in the United States healthy. Because pesticides can be harmful on an already fragile ecosystem it's important to avail ourselves of other eco-friendly methods of lawn care.

 

Organic lawn care is easier and less expensive than you might think. Furthermore, a lawn maintained with organic methods is much healthier in the long run, for instance:

• They withstand drought more easily
• They are less susceptible to pest and disease problems
• They can be enjoyed, by people and pets without worry about getting sick 

LAWN OVERSEEDING can help you take your lawn (Golf Course, client's lawns) from so so to sensational.  Most people think just by throwing some seed on your old turf will get you the great lawn you are going for.  Not true!  Follow these tips to make sure you do overseeding right.

Tip #1 - Time it Right

Time of year is VERY important for seeding of grasses (Bermuda, Fescue, Alfalfa (for farmers), St. Augustine, Kentucky Blue grass, etc).  If you're overseeding with a cool season grass, do it in the Fall, the peak growing time for cool season grasses. For warm season grasses, think Spring.

Tip #2 - Prep your Soil

Give the soil the nourishment it needs to last and help grass to grow.  Remove thatch, and consider aerating your lawn. Loosen the soil with a strong raking as well. This is also a great time to test your soil and amend your soil, whether it's upping its phosphorous levels or adjusting its pH.  SumaGreen products (SumaGreen Turf) will benefit these needs and give your soil and grass everything it will need to properly grow better.  Some starter fertilizer may help but at very low dose if using the SumaGreen Turf.

Tip #3 - Mow Your Lawn Short

Scalp your lawn!  Yes, the same conditions that give weeds an easy entrance also makes it easy for you newly overseeded lawn to take hold. You want your new lawn seeds to have as much contact with the soil as possible, so scalp away. 

Tip #4 - Sow Seed Heavily

For lawn overseeding to succeed, you need a lot of seeds. You should plan to double the seeding you would do if you were putting the seeds down on straight soil with no existing turf.   Since you are trying to grow the grass you want to give yourself the best chances to succeed the FIRST time.

Tip #5 - Baby Your Lawn

Even though you have existing turf, your new sprouts are just as delicate as a completely new lawn, so treat your yard accordingly. Put a protective light top soil, spray SumaGreen Turf  with SumaGrow inside at 4 oz per 1000 sq/ft for quicker germination of seed, water, water, water, and stay off the grass for a few weeks.  To properly measure the water you can put a small cup in your yard to measure (Approximately) how much water you are putting down.  Only put an inch of water on grass.  Of course water in early morning and late evening so moisture stays in grass during hot days.  Also OVER  watering is bad so try to use best judgement and avoid puddling on grass.

Tip#6 - Sit back and Enjoy your NEW Plush grass.

 

 

Honduras Coffee not only getting yield increase but also helped fight Roya disease

In Honduras we had exceptional results on ROYA (disease in Coffee) and as you can see from the picture we saved this man's coffee farm. Everyone around him that did not use the SumaGreen Ag had their farm destroyed by the Roya and will take about 18 months to recover from the damages that the Roya has caused.
Regrowth on Roya infected plants with our product has also been seen. Think about the revolution that SumaGreen can help when farmers have NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE against Roya. If you know a coffee bean farmer you need to have them contact us immediately and help saved their farm. 

 One application of SumaGreen                           Two applications of SumaGreen

        ZERO Applcations of SumaGreen                      Roya Disease (No SumaGreen Application)

Think about this, not only would they save their farm but they got an increase in yield but they HAD A CROP TO HARVEST!!!   What is the value of that?   Not only are we cheaper (Very stable price) but the benefits just keep going on and on with our SumaGreen Ag when applied to anything with a root system.  See what results your farm will get on Corn, Coffee, Cotton, Soy Beans, Hay, Tomatoes, etc. with our SumaGreen Ag with SumaGrow inside compared to fertilizer.

Simple steps to accurate sprayer calibration

Calibrating sprayers involves selecting the proper nozzles, spraying pressure, and speed of travel. There are several different ways to accurately calibrate a sprayer, but the simplest is the 1/128th acre (340 sq.ft.) method, also called the “baby bottle” method. The spray collected from a single nozzle measured in ounces directly converts to gallons per acre regardless of the number of nozzles on the boom. Because there are 128 ounces in a gallon, the ounces collected from 1/128th of an acre will equal gallons of solution per acre. Remember in most crops One Gallon of SumaGreen Ag with SumaGrow inside will treat one acre of crops mixed with 30 gallons of water.
Follow the 10 easy steps below to avoid needless chemical waste, improper application, and potential turf injury.

1. Fill sprayer with water. Use only clean water to calibrate sprayer.
2. Measure the distance (in inches) between nozzles on the spray boom. Then refer to chart below to obtain test course distance (in feet).
3. To check the uniformity of all nozzles on the boom, collect the spray from each nozzle for the same amount of time (ex. 1 minute). If the flow rate of any spray tip is 10% greater or less than that of the others, replace it. Whatever the type of sprayer tips you use, be sure they are all the same type.
4. Measure the course distance (in feet) according to the chart and flag it for easy visibility.
5. Drive the test course at an acceptable spraying speed with the sprayer on. Make note of the engine RPM’s, and most importantly, record the seconds it takes to travel the measured distance between the two flags. Be sure to take a “running start” to the beginning flag, and drive beyond the ending flag to maintain a uniform speed within the flagged distance.
6. Park the tractor/sprayer, set the brakes, but keep the engine RPM’s at the same setting used to drive the test course and make any final sprayer pressure adjustments (this will vary with the type of spray tips you use and the gallons per minute you wish to spray through them).
7. Using a plastic measuring container that is marked in ounces, collect the water sprayed from one nozzle for the same amount of time it took to drive the test course.
8. The amount of water collected in ounces will equal the gallons applied per acre.
9. Be sure to read all product labels for proper application information, use rates, etc.
10. While making applications maintain continuous engine RPM’s and ground speed used in test run.

For a backpack or other single nozzle sprayers this same method will still work. Simply determine the width of the spray pattern to get the distance. Or, fill the sprayer completely with water then spray an area equal to 340 sq. ft. (20’ x 17’). The ounces of water required to refill the sprayer will equal gallons per acre.

Grass in Michigan that never looked better before SumaGreen Turf

TESTIMONIAL

Anthony Smith, Michigan

My name is Anthony and I live in Royal Oak, MI. I have been using Sumagreen Turf on my 100% Kentucky Bluegrass sod I had installed at a rate of 4 oz per application for a few months now.   My grass has been a deep green even in the shaded portion of my lawn since I started using Sumagreen Turf.  My lawn just looks overall much healthier and deeper green while using Sumagreen compared to when I wasn’t’ using it.  It has become thick and lush with a dense deep green look that I have desired since installing my sod.

Thank you for such an awesome product.

Anthony
