In our short video, [*The Plant Is Secondary*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=comXWZo9mHo), growers talk about their approach to improving their soil and keeping it healthy, including the role that [ACCOMPLISH biocatalyst technology](https://www.agricen.com/agricultural-products) plays.  > "*If your soil's healthy, obviously your crop's going to do what it needs to do,*" says Heath Cutrell, who farms in Virginia and across the state line into North Carolina. > Iowa farmer Kelly Garrett adds, "*If we could take care of the biology of the soil, the plant is secondary. It's what happens when we do a good job with the biology.*"  The corn growers in the video have seen firsthand how [ACCOMPLISH technology](https://www.agricen.com/agricultural-products) can help with healthier soils and better nutrient availability for their crops.  > "*Because of the ACCOMPLISH we're feeding the microbes, we're pushing that microbial activity and the mineralization, and we've giving ourselves nutrients*," Don Stall, who farms in Michigan, says. "*My soil tests have climbed and that's due to that fodder breaking down and returning that nutrient to us. It's a big deal*." > "*Over the years, we've got high phosphorus levels from manure applications. Even though we have such high P levels in the soil, we just can't get it into the plant. [Our dealer] said 'Here's a product, ACCOMPLISH, try that,' and right off the bat we were 0.1, 0.15 higher on our tissue samples. So year after year, we started running a little bit more, and the more we were running, the less commercial fertilizer we would have to buy*," Indiana grower Kevin Kalb notes. [University of Illinois' Dr. Fred Below](http://cropphysiology.cropsci.illinois.edu/) also weighs in. > "*What I like to think of a product like ACCOMPLISH as is that it's trying to capture the essence of the value that's in that* *manure*," he says. "*They called it a fertilizer catalyst because one thing it does is it helps make immobile nutrients more available. There is a whole, vast source of nutrients in the soil, and if we can make some of those more available, that has a real value.*" You can watch the video below.
