Shortly after we founded our company in 1996, Pablo & Irma Martinez became our very first distributor in
Mexico. Over the years they were confronted with numerous obstacles while building their business, including the
loss of Pablo in 2001, however, Irma picked up the cause and committed to lead and build a successful agriculture
business in Pablo’s honor, which she has now done as the General Director of Agricola Genética, S.A. de C.V.
We thank Irma and her family for their commitment to marketing MicroSoil® over the years and look forward to
helping her develop an even larger company in the future. Irma and her family plan to come to Las Vegas in May
to establish a joint plan with us moving forward.

Las Vegas Valley Woman’s Hummingbird
Rescue Takes Flight Again
Las Vegas Review Journal, March 12, 2016
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/valley-woman-shummingbird-rescue-takes-flight-again
CLICK to play video
The now-retired North Las Vegas crime scene investigator, Marion BradleyHamilton, rescued her first hummingbird in 2008, while working as a volunteer at
Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary. She named the baby bird Squeak and took him
with her to the office and to crime scenes because he needed to be fed so often.
He would perch on the cubicle wall by her desk and chirp for food.
She had been rehabbing hummingbirds for almost five years by the time she was featured in the Las Vegas Review-Journal on July 7, 2012.
Two days later, a state game warden informed her that she did not have a valid permit. She immediately applied for wildlife rehabilitation
permits from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Nevada Department of Wildlife, and was finally issued a federal fish and wildlife permit
in January 2014 and got her state rehabilitation permit in late March 2015.
To prepare the birds for their eventual return to the wild, Brady-Hamilton and her husband built a 6-foot-tall flight cage in the backyard and
stocked it with flowering honeysuckle, a feeder and a birdbath. She doesn’t advertise her services or charge for them. She said most of the
calls she gets are referred to her by Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary. She can also be reached through her Hamilton Hummingbird Rescue
page on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/hamiltonhumminbirdrescue/
According to state records, Brady-Hamilton is one of only two licensed wildlife rehabilitators in the valley and one of only five anywhere in
Nevada. She is the only one specifically licensed to handle hummingbirds. She has returned about 75 hummingbirds to the wild, including
the ones she cared for before she was licensed.
Besides poisoning children in Michigan with lead, the EPA also conspired with
Monsanto to poison the entire food supply with toxic doses of glyphosate herbicide
Natural News – March 4, 2016
http://www.naturalnews.com/053192_EPA_Monsanto_glyphosate_herbicide.html#
The EPA has come under fire for the revelation that months before the massive lead poisoning of
Flint, Michigan’s water supply became public, an EPA employee had notified his superiors of the
problem. Instead of warning the people of Flint, however, the EPA privately communicated with
Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality to get them to solve the problem.
Documents received via a Freedom of Information Act request, reveal that the EPA also assisted
Monsanto in attempting to paint flagship herbicide Roundup (glyphosate) as safe, after the World
Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared glyphosate a
"probable carcinogen."

Reminder – FREE Soil Testing Offer
We would like to remind all distributors about our FREE SOIL TESTING OFFER for new customers.
We will supply the grower with one (1) liter of MicroSoil® product, FREE of charge, provided the grower
will: 1) Supply us with a completed copy of our Fertilizer Questionnaire, and 2) Send a soil sample to Waypoint
Analytical, Inc. for testing along with our written Authorization Form (which indicates that Biomassters Global
will pay for the Waypoint Analytical test). In addition, we will analyze the information (Fertilizer Questionnaire +
Waypoint Analytical soil analysis) and provide the grower with our TailorMade™ Fertilization Program &
Protocol for his inputs.
When the grower is ready to test, and agrees to comply with the above, we will send him our FREE Soil
Testing instructions along with an Authorization Form for a FREE Waypoint Analytical soil test.
Anyone who wishes to do testing outside of these parameters must do so at their own expense.
BIOMASSTERS GLOBAL ORGANIC AFFILIATES
