"My farm needed organic matter. So I decided to try chicken manure to raise the OM. I had the soil tested before I started and within three years the OM level was raised by three fold. I have been very satisfied with the results."

Who We Are
Farm Nutrients was founded in 2003 to provide nutrient management for the newly formed Rembrandt Enterprises. We began supplying the poultry litter by-product from the Rembrandt egg production facility to local corn and soybean growers in the Rembrandt, Iowa area. In 2004, Farm Nutrients acquired specialized spreading equipment and hired trained operators to provide growers with exceptional litter application.
