How does MTM differ from other manure additive products?
Posted on May 11, 2012

In addition MTM provides the ability to replant different crops behind the application including soybeans if weather causes a change in your planting plans. It’s non-toxic to livestock and microbes. When mixing, MTM can be added at several different stages of the… Read Full Answer
