Dear Mr. Groff,

With BioLIFE™ we are trying to support sustainable agriculture. BioLIFE™ is
cost effective and is able to replace a majority of the nitrogen being used,
while contributing to the buildup of organic matter in the soil.

Please have a look at our web site. We are also want to learn as much as we
can about the Foundation EARTH concept and other ideas like it because we
like to share these ideas in our foreign operations where access to the web
by most farmers is not available.

We witnessed in Zimbabwe the use of no-till farming on a large scale. One
of the farmers, with a small grant, published a book on no-till farming for
the indigenous people. It instructed the farmer from the beginning to the
end of the process. One of the keys to a successful no-till program was the
return of the beneficial microorganisms to the soil. A wonderful web site
discussing this entire process is http://www.soilfoodweb.com/. Dr. Ingham
and her team can help you evaluate the life below the soil and get it back
in balance. Without the beneficial microorganisms the no-till approach will
be stunted because there are no bacteria to break down the crop residue.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Rankin
