Harvest Time is Work Time!

“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” (Genesis 8:22 NIV) Each passing season brings stability and hope for upcoming years of production and blessings.

EarthGen215 strives to work with natural soil and crop functions to produce optimum crops, rather than trying to manipulate and control what has been created.

The color of each crop harvested indicates its overall health and quality. Vibrant colors suggest the intended balance of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients are held inside each morsel harvested. When consumed, healthy crops fuel the consumer with energy, satisfying the nutritional needs rather than leaving an undefinable longing for more (of something), despite having a full-feeling stomach.

Forage analyses of hay or other crops treated with the biological products EarthGen215 distributes can be used to verify balanced nutrient values mentioned. Forage analyses often also show improvements in EarthGen215-treated hay and other crops’ protein contents.

Applying these as recommended by EarthGen215, bolsters beneficial soil organisms’ functions to liberate soil-nutrients when and as needed by crops to facilitate such balances of minerals, vitamins, protein, and other nutrients in each crop, regardless of soil type.

Another attribute seen by applying these biological products as recommended by EarthGen215, is healthier moisture content within each harvested crop. When harvested, a healthy crop’s moisture content is within a range of moisture specific to each crop. These moisture ranges are critical to their crop’s test weight and storability. Test weight usually affects the price commanded by each crop when it is sold. The more the test weight (within the designated range), the higher the price received, usually. If a crop is too moist or too dry (due to effects of drought) when put into storage bins or hay bales it can develop various molds or diseases unique to each respective crop. Too much moisture in a bale of hay may cause it to combust, potentially igniting a fire that destroys more than just that overly moist bale of hay. When moisture content is within a healthy range for a crop, dryness does not cause stress-cracks, excess moisture does not promote molds and mycotoxins, and overall quality and color are preserved until the crop is consumed.

Musty mold spores in spoiled hay or stored grain can cause acute lung issues quite quickly. Applying the products EarthGen215 distributes as recommended, may generate a collateral benefit of protecting producers’ and other workers’ lungs from such exposures.


Activities for planting seeds and tending to crops throughout a growing season all entail a lot of work. Harvesting those crops also requires a lot of attention to details and work. Among the many details, weather conditions need to be monitored and crucial timing decisions must be made to harvest at optimum times.

Machinery must be repaired and tuned so each required piece of equipment is ready for service when and as it is needed. This type of preparation also takes time and deliberate planning to be well prepared for maximum potential Harvests.


It is encouraging to know that perseverance in preparedness will be rewarded at harvest times. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9 NIV).


Our manufacturer has already acquired supplies for making the biological products we distribute available for sales in 2024. We eagerly look forward to 2024 and to working with each of you to learn more about functions of soil and beneficial organisms in soil. Soil health and vigorous activities of beneficial soil organisms, together, lay the ground-work for abundant production throughout 2024.
