Are Harmful Nematodes Impacting Your Yields?
We sat down with Dr. Marisol Quintanilla, Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology at Michigan State University, to talk about nematodes. In this video, Dr. Quintanilla discusses various types of nematodes, the experiments she has been doing the last couple of years on how to reduce harmful nematodes in the soil, and finally walks us through what farmers should do about nematodes in their soil.
DAIRY DOO®
-CAN CERTIFY ORGANIC-
DAIRY DOO is our signature compost- a powerhouse in improving soil health. The added biology and carbon helps plants fully utilize existing nutrients or added fertilizers, giving you the biggest bang for your buck on all the products you use! DAIRY DOO is not like the compost created in backyards or traditional compost sites. It has a specific recipe, is closely monitored, and is thermophilic which eliminates all weed seeds and pathogens. This high-quality product binds sandy soils AND loosens clay while releasing nutrients for plant availability. This compost is available in semi-load quantities.
Recommended Rate of Application: 1 yard per acre

Layer Ash Blend
-CAN CERTIFY ORGANIC-
This is a custom mix that is based around Layer Manure. It takes the best of the Layer Manure world and combines it with DAIRY DOO Compost and wood ash. This blend adds microbiological activity, calcium, silica, and carbon to the soil while also releasing locked up nutrients. This increases water-holding capacity.

Layer Ash Blend With Gypsum
-CAN CERTIFY ORGANIC-
This mix has all of the benefits of our Layer Ash Blend, but with gypsum to provide additional calcium and sulfur. The organic matter of Layer Ash Blend with Gypsum will bind your sandy soils, break up compacted soils, and improve the nutrient holding capacity while preventing leaching. When the compost causes this blend to heat, the layer manure and gypsum react creating an ammonium sulfate-like product, giving you a quicker release.

Recommended Rate of Application: 1-2 ton per acre
