SUSTAINABLE FOR TOMORROW, STARTING TODAY

Far from a vanishing American asset, the family farm makes up 98% of U.S. farms and 87% of farm production. Most of these farm families will say that sustaining their family legacy on the farm is a top priority for them. As a result, they look to be stewards of the land, protecting and enhancing what they have for the next generation. 

Farming margins in some years can be razor thin – if they are there at all. As a result, new sources of income are always welcome to offset increasing costs of production. One developing market is related to carbon sequestration tied to conservation practices on the farm.

BIOLOGICALS

prime-dirt

Prime-Dirt

Prime-Dirt offers biologicals to maximize crop production through soil fertility at the biological level. We’ve seen that increased diversity of the biome can improve uptake efficiency and increase crop productivity, which is why we developed N-TEXX, an all-natural liquid soil inoculant that contains a broad spectrum of soil bacteria. Some features of this product include: 

  • Improved soil health and tilth 
  • Improved nutrient cycling and efficiency for greater yields 
  • Improved yields, protein levels and test weights 
  • Healthier plants have less disease pressure and more efficient on water needs 
  • Improved ROI on nutrient investment through improved crop yields 
  • Improved soil biological activity improves soil health and crop yields

waste-way

Wasteaway®

WasteAway contains beneficial microorganisms and enzymes that can break down the tough lignocellulosic material in corn residue. When applied to fields, they accelerate the decomposition process, turning this residue into valuable organic matter. This not only helps clear fields for subsequent planting but also enriches the soil with essential nutrients, improving its overall health and fertility.

Treat manure lagoons, compost, poultry litter, swine facilities and other organic wastes with Wasteaway. Its high concentrations of carbon-digesting microbes continually consume the solids that, in an imbalanced system, become sludge and surface crust. It helps improve solubility of manure for easier pump out, and reduced crusting helps with control of flies and other pests. It also improves fertilizer value. 

PASTURE MANAGEMENT

Protect, preserve and conserve: the land and your business.

Pasture is your lowest-cost feed source. When weeds and brush get in the way, you need solutions.   

MKC partners with local firms to use drones for precise herbicide application with much less risk of drift than traditional aerial application. Choose from trusted products like Grazon PD3, GrazonNext HL, Remedy, Escort XP, and more. Contact your strategic account manager or your nearest MKC location for more information

fungicides

FUNGICIDES

Fungicides destroys fungi or inhibits their growth. Fungicides are used to control a disease during the establishment and development of a crop, to increase productivity of a crop, and to improve the storage life and quality of harvested material.  

Fungicides promote healthier plants through growth efficiency, disease control and stress mitigation. As a result, fungicides can produce higher crop yields, even in the absence of disease.
