Working out of Texas (USA) another company is also working with homoeopathically potentised Biodynamic preparations, and has developing new ones (horn clay and horn sulphur for instance). GW Agriculture's web site shows petri dishes of grape vine mildews treated and untreated by their sprays. it seems also to be amenable to standard scientific evaluation.

GW Agriculture have designed their sprays for specific purposes; leaf and soil sprays for spring and winter, premix and spring booster to jump start new farms, a compost activator, pruning formula, 'Fungus Interruptus', flowering formula, nutrient release, frost damage protection, fruit ripening formula, white fly solution, field drying formula, and root ripening formula, and more.

Skeptics are invited to try a quick test: take some medium quality wine (or juice) and pour a third into each of three jugs. Spray the outside of the jug with formula A then B, the second with formula B then A, and the third with water as a control. Wait a minute and then ask your mates to try the wine, some mates one first and then the other so palettes are not influenced by first sips etc, and to make and then compare notes. ".. in 99% of the tests we've conducted the A then B juice is improved over the untreated juice, and both are better than the reversed order juice." In fact you are invited to take the B then A juice and now spray it with A then B and you are supposed to get back to the better quality again!

BdMax, Eureka and GW Agriculture have managed to bring the 'compost preparations' out of the compost heap and into the field and garden directly. This has been tried before and some experienced BD growers do the same, but it is interesting to have this crystallised within products.

Greg Willis, the president of GW Agriculture, is confident that 'classical' biodynamics is well past its sell-by date. He feels it has had the most amazing tools for healing the Earth for 80 years and done relatively little with them. But working with what he calls Steiner Agriculture combined with work of George Washington Carver and Luther Burbeck and using compost, cover crops, and the full range of his own perceptive abilities, he has developed the system which proudly boasts: 'We can cure any crop of any disease anywhere in the world'. No hostages to fortune there then.
