"What if, today, we were grateful for everything?"

November News!
The mild fall we experienced in Central Missouri came to an abrupt halt this month. Wow! The foliage was exceptional for a short time and now as I sit here in the dark at 5PM it definitely feels like winter. Brrrr!
On the farm we are in the middle of fall breeding season and have a few cows left to calve. So thankful to have an abundance of hay this winter. Harvest still lingers but will hopefully be wrapped up soon.
It was great to have the kids home for Thanksgiving and visit with extended family. We are so blessed in this season and thankful to have the chance to catch up, laugh together and reminisce. We hope you also had a great time with your family and friends and maybe even caught a few Black Friday deals.
We are so grateful and thankful for each of our customers and those following along on our journey. Life does not slow down, it is great to be busy at work, on the farm and with our new venture with Formula 500X!
Ready to roll on into December! Take care, friends!!

New Product Alert!
Earlier this month we debuted our new product for septic systems and lagoons, Formula 500X Sludge Mix. This product eliminates pumping your septic tank or dredging lagoons! Reduces solids and reduce odors. An all natural product that works, plus it’s safe for the environment. We can help you treat your home septic system, camper, all the way to subdivisions, cities, lagoons and waste treatment plants.
A recent test on several septic tanks, last pumped five years ago, provided some fantastic results. They were treated two months ago with a gallon of Sludge Mix and again two days prior to measuring with another gallon of Sludge Mix. Each tank measured hardly any solids left in the tanks! Great results and happy customers!
Treatment options vary depending on amount of solids in tank. An initial treatment is recommended with weekly maintenance. Timed pumps can be installed to help with maintenance. Reach out to us for individual recommendations.
Our label recommendation:
For septic tank maintenance, a weekly treatment is all that is necessary. The application of the SLUDGE MIX is very simple: flush down any toilet leading to the septic tank, 16 ounces for each 20 to 25 cubic feet of capacity for the first week. For preventive maintenance, thereafter, use 8 ounces each week for each 20 to 25 cubic feet of capacity of each tank.
Formula 500X Sludge Mix is available now on our website in 1 gallon jugs and 5 gallon buckets. For bigger jobs, bulk pricing is available on 55 gallon barrels and 250 gallon totes.
Happy to answer any questions or discuss if the need arises. Please feel free to give John a call at (573) 489-3459.

A glimpse of the Supreme Junior Heifer Drive at the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) in Louisville on November 16th. It was a great few days in the 'Ville!
Best of luck to all the show families preparing for Congress & the National Western!
