The Platform: Our Story
I didn’t set out to build this. I built it to protect my business.
When supply chain risk threatened everything, I started building my own solutions.
What began as integration became the foundation of something bigger—
a platform to protect, improve, and extend the life of inputs in the field.
Understand the moment that sparked the PED platform.
Built From the Breakdown
This didn’t come out of a boardroom. It came from failure.
- Fertilizer that leached in the rain.
- Seeds that sprouted too early.
- Biologicals that died before they did anything.
- Pesticides that washed off before they worked.
We weren’t trying to reinvent agtech. We were trying to make inputs work in the real world.
See why traditional inputs fail—and what Durable Inputs™ changes.
From Workaround to Working System
PED didn’t start with a mission statement. We started with a coating; one that made fertilizer last longer. Then we applied it to seed; then to microbials; then to dry pesticides.
Each one fixed a different failure. Together, they formed a new category: Durable Inputs™. Not just better products—a better platform that delivers them.

Ten Years. Hundreds of Tests. One Unifying Idea.
Every step of the platform came from one principle: If it didn’t survive in the field, it didn’t belong.
- We didn’t build this in a vacuum
- We didn’t chase patents before proving the use case
- We coated real inputs and put them through real stress
- And kept going until they lasted
Real data. Tested under real pressure.
Built in South Carolina. Ready for Anywhere.
Durable Inputs™ was born in one of the toughest ag environments in the U.S.; humidity, heat, hard rain, and hard lessons.
If our stuff could work here, they could work anywhere. Now, they power performance in:
Row crops
Turf and ornamentals
Orchard
Regenerative farms
Greenhouse systems
No special conditions. Just field-tested resilience.
View applications across growing systems and environments.
Not Innovation Theater. Real Innovation.
We didn’t build this to chase awards, grants, or headlines. We built it because the tools we needed didn’t exist. The market passed. Farmers didn’t.
That’s what turned this into a platform. That’s what made PED real.
