🌱 Exciting Opportunity: NRCS 336 Grant Funding for Biochar and Compost! 🌱
Dear Farmers, Ranchers, gardeners and Soil Enthusiasts,
Are you ready to take your agricultural practices to the next level of sustainability and productivity? We have fantastic news for you! The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering grant funding through the NRCS 336 program specifically for the purchase and application of biochar and compost.
Why Should You Take Advantage of this Opportunity?
🌿 Enhance Soil Health: Biochar and compost are powerful soil amendments that improve soil structure, promote nutrient retention, and foster beneficial microbial activity, leading to healthier and more resilient soils.
💧 Improve Water Efficiency: By enhancing soil water retention capacity, biochar and compost help to mitigate drought stress and improve water-use efficiency, ensuring your crops thrive even in challenging conditions.
🌾 Boost Crop Yields: Studies have shown that the application of biochar and compost can significantly increase crop yields by providing a nutrient-rich environment and promoting root development.
🌎 Contribute to Climate Mitigation: Biochar has the remarkable ability to sequester carbon in soil for centuries, making it an effective tool for mitigating climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
How Can You Access NRCS 336 Grant Funding?
It's simple! Contact your local NRCS office to inquire about the availability of NRCS 336 grant funding in your area. Work with NRCS professionals to develop a conservation plan tailored to your specific agricultural operation and goals, including the incorporation of biochar and compost.

What is Biochar?
Genesis Biochar is an organic certified, stable carbon-based soil conditioner produced through the process of pyrolysis. Our substrate consists of softwood, wood chips, and sawmill waste. Pyrolysis involves heating biomass to high temperatures exceeding 1000°F in a low-oxygen environment, leading to the transformation of organic matter into a stable carbon.
Biochar is a highly porous material with a large surface area, making it an effective soil amendment and carbon sequestration tool. When incorporated into soil, biochar enhances soil structure, improves water retention, increases nutrient availability, and fosters a habitat for beneficial soil microorganisms. Additionally, biochar has the remarkable ability to sequester carbon in soil for extended periods, thereby aiding in mitigating climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
In agricultural practices, Genesis Biochar is utilized to enhance soil fertility, boost crop yields, and enhance overall soil health. It is also employed in various environmental applications, including wastewater treatment, remediation of contaminated soils, and as a renewable energy source.
Overall, Genesis Biochar represents a promising sustainable solution for soil improvement, carbon sequestration, and environmental remediation, contributing to endeavors for a more sustainable and resilient future.

How To use genesis biochar as a soil conditioner
Genesis Biochar can be applied independently or inoculated with other soil amendments. The best long term results are achieved when used at a 10% ratio mixed into the top layer of soil to a depth below the root zone.
Although the goal of 10% doesn’t have to go into the soil all at once but one time applications mixed with other inoculates such as compost are usually more efficient. Remember that Genesis Biochar is mostly stable carbon so it will not breakdown for hundreds of years. There is no gain if more than 10% to your soil.

The story of Potawatomi and other Neshnabe peoples stretches back to times that precede written histories, beginning on the East Coast of what is now North America. By the time Europeans arrived, a great migration was complete and the tribes were living around the Great Lakes, with a social structure that included a strong communal lifestyle and seasonal life-ways. The people were bound together through ties of kinship, custom and mutual necessity. Several removals devastated the Potawatomi people after Europeans moved to present-day America, but a resilient group, the Citizen Potawatomi refused to give up hope.
