(Nasdaq:COIN) announced today that the company will be exhibiting Converted OrganicsTM LC 1-1-1 fertilizer at the annual Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association (WSCGA) Summer Meeting and Trade Show, taking place in Tomah, WI on August 10, 2010. The WSCGA Field Day and Trade Show are well attended by industry leaders, including growers, distributors and other key decision-makers in the purchase of crop production inputs, such as fertilizer.

"We believe we can replicate this success in Wisconsin, the nation's largest cranberry producer, which accounted for four million barrels, or 56% of the total U.S. cranberry production in 2009."
Massachusetts cranberry growers have reported positive results from the use of Converted OrganicsTM LC 1-1-1, including: increased disease suppression; greater vine growth and higher yields on two year-old bogs; and overall higher-quality yields with less rot.
