About JR Huyge Associates, LLC

As we consider the health risks, environmental impact and the cost of clean up that result from the use and overuse of chemicals, it is easy to see the value in developing programs to manage wastes and produce products to reduce the need for chemicals in agriculture, horticulture, lawn care and landscaping products.

JR Huyge Associates, LLC (JRH) is focused on developing and implementing plans for the management of volatile organic residues, soil detoxification and decontamination and sustainable agriculture, horticulture and all crops.
JR Huyge Associates, LLC is a Central Contractor Registered (CCR) company.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The MBST goal is to provide a sustainable, environmentally safe, economically viable alternative to chemical based fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides by producing and marketing biologically superior products, biostimulants and management programs.

The JR Huyge Associates, LLC objective is to expand the marketing and sales efforts for MBST ® products and services and to develop a Franchising and Licensing program for those products and services.

THE PLAN
To achieve these goals JR Huyge Associates, LLC has constructed and currently operates a model, MBST® Facility. Lakeshore Microboost, Inc. is located in Saugatuck Township, MI. Lakeshore Microboost is situated in an area zoned A-1. At the facility the cities and residents of Saugatuck, Douglas and Saugatuck Township deliver loose yard and wood wastes. No bagged materials, construction debris, treated or painted materials are accepted. The manure needed is procured from local farmers. Local schools are considering separating food wastes for disposal at the site.

Lakeshore Microboost, Inc., (“LMI”) produces a line of chemical free products, designed for agriculture, aquiculture, horticulture, hydroponics and other organic and green industries. In addition the biostimulants and biochar produced at the site are key ingredients in bioremediation projects. Lakeshore Microboost is the only regional producer of biochar.

The LMI site is the quintessential “green” facility. Yard and wood waste is delivered to the site by local governments through their yard waste management and grounds maintenance programs, manure is procured from local farmers (reducing the amount being field applied) and wood chips from local tree services are directed to one of two processes at the facility;

1. Aerobic, static pile composting producing compost for biostimulant production and landscape/nursery soils and,

2. Anaerobic digestion is used to process mixed food waste. Methane produced in the anaerobic digester is used as the starter fuel for the pyrolysis process. The remaining biomass is pyrolized.

3. Pyrolysis for production of synfuel and biochar.

Lakeshore Microboost, Inc. will be a carbon negative fuel positive facility.

From these processes, three primary products (composts, biostimulants and biochar) are produced that can be further mixed and formulated to develop specialty MBST products and products for private labeling.

Employing aerobic, anaerobic and pyrolysis technologies, organic materials are converted into biochar, biostimulants and soil mixes. Through the tailored application of these technologies we are able to design a carbon neutral, energy positive processing facility.

Biostimulants and the biochar produced at the facility are mixed with the compost to produce specialized potting and bedding soils for nurseries and top dressing for turf management. Biostimulants and biochar are also processed into a slurry to be used in bioremediation for a wide variety of naturally occurring and man made toxins and contaminants.

INTRODUCTION
Research in microbiology has opened new frontiers in the field of medicine. Our ability to cure and prevent illness and disease has taken great strides forward as a result of microbiological manipulation. What many don’t realize is that microbiology is also identifying new technologies in energy production, nutrient delivery, waste treatment and reduction of green house gas emissions. These discovery’s offer economical alternatives to chemical based agriculture, horticulture, silva culture, landscaping and turf management programs, historical waste management practices and GHG sequestration.

Use of biostimulants, biochar (agri-char) and other chemical free soil additives enables gardeners, landscapers and the farming community to reduce and perhaps ultimately eliminate the use of chemicals in these fields.

For the past several years Lakeshore Microboost, Inc.(LMI) has been developing products, processes and services using the latest science in chemical free, sustainable soil management and the treatment of contaminated soils.

In response to this need JR Huyge Associates, LLC has developed MICROBOOST® (MBST) products and services. MBST® is the registered trademark for a line of products and services designed for use in agriculture, aquiculture, bioremediation, horticulture, hydroponics and other green industries.

The science behind MBST® is based on the theory of “Effective Microorganisms” as developed by Dr. Teruo Higa, at the University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan (Higa, 1991; Higa and Wididana, 1991a). EM consists of mixed cultures of beneficial an naturally-occurring microorganisms that can be applied as inoculates to increase microbial diversity. Research has shown that the inoculation of EM cultures to the soil/plant ecosystem can improve soil quality, soil health, and the growth, yield, and quality of crops. Like EM - MBST Extract contains numerous species of microorganisms including predominant populations of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, smaller numbers of photo synthetic bacteria and other types of organisms. All of these are mutually compatible with one another and can coexist in liquid culture.

MBST® products and services are based on the results of research conducted world wide in the fields of soil and plant microbiology. Through our application of the data collected from this research we have developed products that will destroy and/or sequester many contaminants, toxins and green house gases, improve the physical and biological condition of soils and other growth media, increasing disease resistance, improving nutrient uptake and use.
