Every season, nitrogen applied to farm fields is lost before crops can use it — a hidden cost paid by farmers and the land alike.
Nitrogen left in the soil after harvest is almost guaranteed to be lost, farmers pay for fertilizer the crop never uses. The same logic applies to phosphorus and potassium: nutrients that could be captured from that residual pool and cycled back to the field.
Manure lagoons hold a season's worth of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in storage that depreciates in value each day that it's stored.
We recover the nutrients, return them to the soil, and keep value where it belongs, on the farm.
