The Monte Vista Co-op Crop Production Department is pleased to announce that we are now selling the San Luis Valleys Compost Technologies  “BIO BLEND”.  Bio Blends are  mixtures of Rutopia, Agrithrive, Sobec,  Soyaplex, and Yucca extract.  When BIO BLEND is applied  to the seed piece or over the top of the crop it boosts the microbiological activity and enhances plant growth,  while helping  to reduce  pathogen  attacks.
We are also making available to all producers, whom we apply products for, access to the CDMS Advisor program.  This program will assist you in completing your GAP or other crop input tracking programs.  Watch your mailbox for notification of accessability .
