In 1993, when Edwin J. Blosser founded <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/midwestbiosystems.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Midwest Bio-Systems<\/a><\/strong> built in Tampico, Illinois, he had one main goal: to help agriculture become healthier and cheaper. <\/p>\n<p>Today, MBS&#8217; operations are global, influencing and improving composting and agricultural fertility programs in the U.S. and around the world. As of 2010, there were more than ten thousand composters in the United States alone and thousands more service providers and equipment suppliers supporting processing infrastructure. And those numbers are growing.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/ironcad.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/logo-MBS.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;logo MBS&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/midwestbiosystems.com\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_height=&#8221;100px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;1rem||1rem||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Tekst&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>special equipment<\/h2>\n<p>After completing his training in Renewable Farming, Edwin came to Europe and found additional technology and techniques for capturing free solar and atmospheric energy lost by most of the farming community.
