Hedley makes and markets a diatomaceous earth (DE) product called Protect-it (tm) that is a natural product for controlling insects in grain storage. The amount of grain loss to bugs is considerable and in China can amount to almost 1/3 of the stored grain! There are numerous chemical ways to kill the bugs - methyl bromide, etc - but these are harmful not only to the bugs - but the grain and the environment as well! The product has been in use for a number of years - but the marketing end is just starting to ramp up this yr, with a number of deals either done or to be done soon.
