Ancient Lake Bonneville shoreline near Nephi, Utah

From Ancient
Lake Bonneville

Over 14,000 years ago, Ancient Lake Bonneville covered most of western Utah. Its ancient shoreline deposited layers of mineral-rich marine sediment used today as raw inputs for qualified formulation teams.

Acute Calcium Correction

25.7% calcium — the highest of any option. Rapid calcium deficit correction in depleted fields.

Dry Fertilizer Blending

93.7% dry matter — less moisture, more mineral per ton. Ideal for dry fertilizer products.

High-Ca Feed Formulations

482 lb/ton as-received calcium delivery for maximum density in minimal volume.

Iron-Deficient Soils

8,449 ppm iron. The go-to choice for micronutrient-starved fields.

Manganese Supplementation

192 ppm Mn — critical for enzyme activation, photosynthesis, and redox processes in crops.

Trace Mineral Feed Base

Highest magnesium (1.31%) and most balanced micronutrient mix for custom feed formulations.
