There is much going on right now.  Many of the "finishes" are being applied.  The plant is being assembled, configured and tested.  We have 2 new employees working up here full time; Justin Burtch and Eric Dunkel.  Tom Hoten starts full time on Monday.  There is much to learn to operate the new equipment.  Gerrit has been working up there for awhile and is coordinating assembly and loading operations.  We have expanded our truck loading capabilities to allow for more loading of customer deliveries.  There are large quantities of High NRG-N and Pro-Germinator already stocked on site, ready to load trucks and railcars.  In addition, there are quantities of Sure-K and Micro 500 ready for full railcars or mixed loads.  Stay tuned, much to come in the next few weeks.
