Pro-Act’s System Helps Farmers Save During Tough Times
 
 

May 8, 2006 ---- The cost of fuel is up, fertilizer prices are going up but the milk price is heading south. For everyone, this year is proving to be tough. The bright spot in the horizon is Pro-Act Microbial. Pro-Act’s manure treatment system is helping its customers keep some of their hard-earned money.

Increases the fertilizer value of the manure. Pro-Act’s microbial mix liquefies manure solids while keeping more plant friendly nitrogen in the system. Their system turns the manure into a gentle, time-released fertilizer and allows for stratification of the nutrients.  Since agitation is not needed in lagoons, settled phosphorus can remain at the bottom until pumped. Because they’re using less commercial fertilizer, their average customer has seen a minimum savings of $35 per acre. A 500-acre farm would save $18,000 per year!

Reduces or even eliminates agitation costs. When pumping, little or no agitation is needed because of the reduced solids and lowered viscosity of the treated manure. This results in great savings in fuel costs for the farmers.
Reduces hauling cost. Pro-Act’s system reduces solids and viscosity, allowing much of the phosphorus and nitrogen to settle to the bottom. The top water is low in nutrients and can be applied, even on growing crops, throughout the season. Only the bottom water, heavy in nutrients, needs to be hauled to far away fields.

Proven results. A dairy farm in Pennsylvania was pleasantly surprised by the tallest corn they’d ever harvested after using Pro-Act’s manure treatment system for only a year. Another farm had to leave over 100 acres of corn un-harvested because their silo was full from the abundance of corn silage…all without purchasing any commercial fertilizer! Imagine all the money saved just from fertilizer alone.
