AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer (NOF) has gained certification into the USDA BioPreferredSM Program.
Under the USDA program, products are considered biobased if they are composed wholly or significantly of biological ingredients — renewable plant, animal, marine or forestry materials.
Products certified in the program carry a label icon that helps consumers make informed choices. The icon is easy to recognize and consumers can have confidence in the label because claims about the presence and amount of biobased ingredients are third-party certified and strictly monitored by the USDA.
The “USDA certified biobased product” icon will soon appear on AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer marketing material. AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer also will be listed among products that meet the USDA requirements on the agency’s website, www.biopreferred.gov.
USDA BioPreferred Program Goals
The core goals of the USDA BioPreferred Program first were introduced in the 2002 Farm Bill:
- To spur the development of the biobased industrial base through value-added agricultural processing and manufacturing in rural communities.
- To enhance the nation’s energy security, by substituting biobased products for fossil energy-based products derived from imported oil and natural gas
- To reduce the nation’s environmental impact by promoting products that may be more benign to the environment.

AGGRAND Launches Improved Natural Liquid Lime Formulation
The new AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime formulation is now available. Incorporating pure calcitic limestone, the improved formulation boasts an average particle size 600 percent smaller than the previous formulation and nearly doubles the available calcium. Because calcium plays a critical role in overall plant nutrient uptake, it should be part of any long-term fertilization program. In fact, approximately 90 percent of the soil analyses received by AGGRAND need calcium. In addition, the new formulation’s suspension agents reduce product separation for longer shelf-life. AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime pricing remains unchanged for the new formulation. For more information visit www.aggrand.com/lime.aspx. |

AGGRAND Pricing
Due to unavoidable increases in raw material costs, AGGRAND is forced to increase pricing on select products effective 2/1/2010.

Natural Liquid Lime and Natural Liquid Bonemeal pricing, which has been in place since 2007, will remain unaffected. AGGRAND strives to produce the highest quality products at the best possible prices. Rest assured that the company will continue streamlining internal processes and researching raw material suppliers to maximize quality and cost-effectiveness of all AGGRAND products. |

WSDA Organic Material Registration Program Temporarily Discontinued
Due to unforeseen regulatory issues between the USDA and its third-party reviewers, the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) is temporarily unable to renew organic certification for any liquid organic fertilizers containing more than 3 percent nitrogen. All 2009 approvals for liquid organic fertilizers expire October 31, 2009 and the WSDA organic seal must be removed from all fertilizer labels and marketing material as of that date. AGGRAND has not adjusted any of its formulations and will explore applying for re-certification of its Natural Fertilizer 4-3-3 through other organizations or through the WSDA when its Material Registration Program is renewed. AGGRAND Kelp and Sulfate of Potash 0-0-8 is unaffected by this issue and remains certified organic by the WSDA. September 21, 2009 |
