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.

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.

Can Mulch KILL your Tree?

This is a subject of much interest because the trees are suffering. When the soil around a tree gets too high, problems develop. This can occur naturally but is more often caused by people. People who love their trees are hurting and even killing their trees for lack of knowledge. To much mulch around a tree could actually KILL your tree.

Soil is one thing, mulch is another. The difficulty is that both cause problems for trees when applied incorrectly and mulch, good organic mulch that is, becomes soil eventually. The deeper the mulch around the tree trunk the worse the situation for the tree.

Landscapers and builders/developers (sometimes the same but sometimes different companies or different people) cause damage to trees in the normal course of their respective business. Builders prepare the land for building structures and landscapers make the prepared land beautiful. After scraping the earth with heavy equipment the landscapers, and sometimes the builder/developer bring in soil to cover the land for various reasons. The soil level gets raised. Any pre-existing trees that were preserved have to cope with an unhealthy high soil level that actually comes as a mix of detriment and benefit. High soil levels hurt, but new rich soil helps (as long as it does not get to high on the existing tree trunk.

Sometimes homeowners feel it is a good idea to make rings around the trunks of trees by removing the grass and then covering the bare soil with mulch. Sometimes the soil around the trunk will be cultivated, augmented and raised. Then flowers will be planted there. This practices is not good for the trees.

In this picture you can see what TOO MUCH (or to high) mulch can do to a tree at the base of the tree.
