Although Harold no longer works a dairy, he is far from retired. His company, PRO-MIN, keeps him busy in the business of biological soil consulting. He runs a warehouse from which he sells biologically safe fertilizer for lawns and gardens. Other farmers continue to visit regularly (and increasingly) for advice from Harold. He shares his information wealth freely.

"I don't know everything about the soil," he readily admits. "In fact, I once had a fertilizer expert tell me that everything I told him was in the books, but his teachers never taught it that way. All I know is I think we're doing it as God intended it to work. The insects, the worms, the weeds...they all have a job to do with us as we farm the land. It's really all quite simple once you understand what's going on."

Harold Hartzler definitely knows what is going on with the earth he has cultivated. He is very much at peace and in partnership with it. And he knows he has connected himself, his family and his customers to something good...
