FDC Enterprises has consulted with Michigan NRCS staff to provide dependable results to CP-38 Diverse Grass Planting practice participants. We have designed our services to both simplify the process and remain within cost share limits. As a result, you can be assured both the short grass (30% of project area) and tall grass (70% of project area) components of the practice will be established on your project using mixes that have been approved by state NRCS staff.

Our staff biologists will help you understand the program from start to finish. With over 109,000 acres of installing experience and a consistent 97.4% success rate we can make your experience an enjoyable one.

Why are we so successful?

• Superior Seed- We select the best seed available; reprocess it to enhance purity and stratify it to greatly increase immediate seed germination.

• Micronutrient Enhancement- We add our Essential Nutrient Enhancement Technology (ENET) Micronutrient Blend to enhance germination success and boost seedling vigor.

• Specialized Custom Equipment- Our drills are re-engineered by FDCE to provide a more consistent uniform planting pattern.

• Site Specific Herbicide Application- We are a QVM Certified company that simultaneously (with planting) executes a site specific herbicide program to minimize weed competition.

• Results Based Warranty- FDC Enterprises offers the only results based warranty in the industry. We will replant the project if minimum establishment standards are not met.

Our extensive "attention to detail" is the reason this Program is so successful. As one government official recently stated- "FDCE Program successes are writing new "Standards" on Prairie Grassland Establishment."
