Sustainable Services Idaho Project
Advancing Organic Biology for a Sustainable Future
Project Information
Farmers often live on razor-thin margins. One year of bad weather, or one bad crop can often cancel out years of hard work. One main factor is that chemical fertilizers, pesticides, GMO seeds, and herbicide costs eat into farmers’ profit margins, while yields stay the same or decrease year after year. Todd was approached by Sustainable Services Idaho to conduct Biological trials across 25,000+ acres of production. From pastures to alfalfa, potatoes, and beans, the Biological methods set up by Todd saw remarkable results across the board…which meant lower costs, higher yields, and more resilient plants.
