It would be nice for GROG to partner with a company like cn#b. It could be very helpful for both companies. I would not be surprised, if GROG gets some sales, that a company growing hemp and manufacturing their own cannibis oil might really like our product.
I might buy back some of the shares I sold in .13 range. If there is no news in Oct, I think I would be able to get them in the .05-.06 range. I would definitely jump on that price. But....... we shall see
News of revenue would make a huge difference.
Don't think insiders have the cash to buy shares. As I have spoken with grogenisis, I have gotten the feeling, (Not spoken directly) that folks are probably putting cash in to keep the company afloat until something happens with the product. Just a guess, who knows how they have kept a float with no sales. Still hopeful.
Nice size buyer at .07. Good to see a buyer even down there.
Sure hope so my friend.
If insiders were buying down here and some good news came out in the near term, that would be insider trading. Which may be an interesting possibility.
Maybe news is soon. Which is why they cannot buy.
43% drop before whoever the seller was found a buyer, I know it was just a few hundred shares. Pretty sad either way.
I hope, but I don't know gentleman.
Very much hope it is successful. I know of nothing wrong with the company except we are going on a year since announced sales. Because of that I have lightened up above .10. Still have bunches. I have been the major seller, still hoping I did the wrong thing. Lol I won't sell below .10, hope I don't end up sorry about not taking .5 or .6. If we do trade in that range, and then they have an order, someone will do well. Who knows???
We are waiting as well now,than you for this update.
GLTA
Called the company up and someone answered right away. I asked about orders and got the impression that they are expecting a number of orders (revenues). But no PR will happen until they receive payment and ship. I asked what was taking so long. Said that some distributors had applied for AgraBurstPRO to be registered (required) in whatever the country where the distributor. Specifically mentioned Bangladesh as an example.
Said that the company anticipates orders quickly following after registrations or import license are received.
He underscored there are no guarantees--just informed expectations. (IMO,a CYA comment).
Offered that the field trials being done in the US are going well--with yield results expected after harvest in a month or so. Specifically, soybean, corn and rice.
Betting that the reason the filing is late is because the filing fees and accounting fees will be paid out of any forthcoming orders. Asked why not raise money directly with investors. Said they do not want to be diluting at these levels.
That's all I go. Basically was much more encouraged, but will wait for news before I buy more. And I bet I m not the only one doing the same.
Have a great weekend.
Well did u get any answers from the company?
I know and you probably know what the company would say in response.
We won't put out news till we have. We will not put out fluff.
We dont want to jeopardize potential sales by announcing them prematurely.
So here we all sit, waiting and waiting.
Feel your frustration. I have been very suppotive financially, so far marginal results, still hoping for sales/success.
I think it's high time and long overdue for some concrete information from company management to the stockholders! All of the field testing press releases are nice, but we have no idea of projected sales........
We have been patient but info coming from Grogenesis is less than satisfying..... If any management is reading this, please consider sending out an updated investor info pack detailing prospective sales...... If there are currently none, then you should explain why.....
Thanks, and other poster's opinions/replies are also welcomed.
Bad news! Annual report apparently will not be filed by the deadline..
Zero sales for the last 3 quarters... and now this. Hmmm. Maybe the company can’t afford to pay their auditors.?? I’ve seen this movie before...
Good News! If an order happens on a annual basis here, its about the same time of year we got one last year, our 2018 should happen any day now.
I am also in pretty deeply, just shy of 300k. Its actually kinda nice to know I am not the only one who saw an opportunity here. When we see orders, there may very well be a lag before the stock reacts as not many folks are watching. gltu and all involved. This product could be a monster.
Have over 325k shares from .o8 to .17. Depending upon the news or an order or orders I will buy more if I can react quick enough after I see the news.
If someone wants another 60k, it's available at .14. Will be a gift price, if there are sales.
What always adds to my frustration is, like you I invested in GROG to make money.
My investment is about break even presently. I look around and see other companies that have pretty positive long term charts, or are at least tradable. GROG 0 for 2. Lol
I am hopeful that this was a smart move long term. But we need sales, even a few smaller ones would be nice. Myself, and several others on this board are heavily invested, along with the managment. Nothing to do but wait.
Yes it is frustrating, been kinda dead money lately. Once they get orders, a good % of the dollars from the orders will show up on the bottom line.imo The company has outsourced almost everything. The way they have it set up, there will be low overhead and high profit. A good profit margin.
But for now, volume has flat lined.
Frustrating, taking way longer for deals to consumate, but you can rest assured these guys are doing everything they can to make things happen. They are shareholders too so they are just as much concerned as we are. And what an incredible product! Just one good deal kick starts the share price in the right direction. A matter of when
They have a bunch of field trials going on too. Trials are necessary before a new distributor signs up. But the distributors in SE Asia, Colombia and in the Caribbean should be the first orders we should see. Hope they show the $$$ amount in any news release.
Yes I agree on all.
This product should increase efficacy of most agriculture products, as it is simply a delivery system enhancer. There may be a few chemicals that can not be brought in through the leaf surface. As I recall it even stays on the leaf for several weeks. Even helps with water, as demonstrated by video. This product should be a no brainer for most farmers. They have been registered, certified organic, for about 6 -7 months. With little capital to test and move the product to market. So I guess we should not be surprised by lack of sales. Once started, sales should snow ball. Sales will motivate distributors and facitate more sales. Then farmers, companies, heck even countries will realize they are at a disadvantage without out it. Sitting on a super volcano, that needs just a few sales to crack it open. Another option, which would dilute are return, is a merger into a company with cash, pipeline and better exchange.
There really are no shares available at the bid. With this low volume, it is hard to say where the market really is. News will bring volume. And traders attention. But it is going to take news on revenue. Not just an update. Jmo
If there is any news of sales, I hope I am watching. Because I will buY at the Ask that day.
Wow some one bought 2 shares this morning.
Showing great boldness, risk taking, and confidence. Lol I assume when there is news they will go all in, maybe like half a dozen.lol
Agriculture Leadership Likely to Meet Wednesday on Farm Bill
https://about.bgov.com/blog/agriculture-leadership-likely-meet-wednesday-farm-bill/
Agriculture Leadership Likely to Meet Wednesday on Farm Bill
Senate could vote to go to conference Tuesday or Wednesday
House, Senate committee leaders set to confer
House and Senate Agriculture Committee leadership will probably meet on Wednesday ahead of a conference on the farm bill, the Senate panel’s chairman said.
Senate Agriculture, Nutrution, and Forestry Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and ranking member Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) will meet with House Chairman Mike Conaway (R-Texas) and ranking member Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) on Wednesday to start discussions on farm bill provisions, Roberts told reporters Monday night.
“The four principals will be meeting probably Wednesday so we can sit down and go over some things,” Roberts said.
The House appointed 47 conferees to the farm bill (H.R. 2) conference committee July 18 and the Senate is expected to name its conferees this week.
Roberts said he expects the Senate will vote to go to conference Tuesday or Wednesday, but said scheduling is up to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell .
“it’s obviously important to get that done,” Roberts said.
The farm bill would reauthorize commodity, trade, agricultural research, rural development, and food and nutrition programs. Under current law (Pub. Law No. 113-79), authorizations will expire Sept. 30 or the end of the applicable crop year.
I suspect that they are working on getting orders from distributors overseas. They have just started field tests in the States. But the overseas guys have been doing trials for over two years. I would be expecting order announcements soon--unless those registrations are taking longer.
But the biggest concern is does the product work. Based on what I have seen, the product increases yield and has a great return on investment for the farmers. I would be more concerned if the trials were more "iffy"=--meaning just a 5-1-5 yield increase. These yields are at a minimum--15% increases. Up to 40%. At some point, those orders and revenues should be coming in.
The problem with all these small stocks is that these ridiculous price swings do not make anyone comfortable. You have to "bet" on the company getting orders, news etc and then the volume will come in.
Summer doldrums does not help either.
Picking off smaller orders has worked for me better than show larger orders. The video and the field test results are what keeps me accumulating. I cannot imagine the company and its distributors not beginning to announce orders soon.
The amazing video kinda proves 1/2 of what I am saying. Amazing, unique, very needed product imo great comitted leadership, huge market.
Then....... we have zero, zilch, nadda, response in interest in investing in the company, no sales in months. What am I missing. Might be a time thing. Maybe the response starts tommrow.
All I am saying is idk.
Nothing more to say for now, leaving the board for a month or two, or till (man I hope) sales.
Agree, amazing display.
The u tube video on ihub for grog is amazing ... Demo by mr. Kamolvathin with soil and leaf absorption using agroburst pro says it all! Only a matter of time ... company has quietly gone about their business to date.
Organic food sales in the U.S. totaled approximately $43 billion in 2016, or 5.3% of total food sales. That is $3.3 billion higher than 2015, and research reports predict global growth around 14% per year between 2016 and 2021.
The scope of the market just in U.S. stagering.Many other countries going organic. AGRABURSTPRO Has yield increases as high as 40%. Most crop yield increases are in the 20+% range. Management (which I highly regard) working very deiigently, and that can't be receiving much comp. But sales,stock, market cap reflect very little market confidence. Idk
If it seems to good to be true????
Idk maybe just needs another 6 months.
Glta GROG longs, we are way over due.
Q should come out soon.
Doubt any surprises, positive or negative.
Agraburstpro, huge, giant, enormous potential. Imo unparalleled in Agra organic market. It's very Unique , from my research, imo. The market for this product is mind boggling.
But why no volume on the stock and no sales?
Imo potential reasons.
1. My research and company distributors results are not what they appear. I am wrong and the product is nothing special.
2. The lack of sales, and no interest in the stock is because no one Knows what GROG has. Its a huge secret. There are a handful of folks who believe and have accumulated. But the market in general has no idea. None. Just takes time, months, years for product to gain traction.
Possible that as more data comes we will see sales.
I am hoping the company can survive long enough to see this thing explode on all fronts. But for now, for whatever reason, the market has very little interest in the stock and product. Could change Monday. Lol
Just thinking out loud.
No one will sell me up to 4oooo shares at the bid. Jerks
Surprise for me. Bought 20k more shares at .12 from a GTC AON order I had in for a couple of months. Patience pays off--from the impatient.
Once the first big orders begin to hit I feel that it will break the log jam
Maybe key word is "government" registration for some of these potential distributors. Things always take longer than you want, but I know the grog team is doing all they can. Just need ONE to start the ball rolling
Update on AgraBurstPRO Field trials
To GroGenesis shareholders and interested investors:
An integral part of product registration in most countries (but not all) is field test data on local crops on local farms. The recent Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) certification that registers AgraBurstPRO as an "Organic Material" has helped in this registration process. GroGenesis is awaiting product registration in Bangladesh, Myanmar and a number of other SE Asian countries.
GroGenesis has conducted, or is currently conducting, field tests in the following countries:
Bangladesh
Colombia
Peru
Ecuador
Barbados
Cuba
Mexico
Canada
Guatemala
Dominican Republic
Laos
Vietnam
Honduras
The Company is also working towards beginning field tests in India, the Philippines, Switzerland and South Korea.
In the US, GroGenesis has begun field trials in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia and Illinois. Field tests are to begin in California and Iowa n the near future (rice, corn and soybeans).
The Company has also been in contact with a number of non-governmental organizations (NGO) and organic trade organizations. One NGO is currently conducting AgraBurstPRO field trials on coffee.

GROG should get a distributor in Thailand too.
But I think we are way overdue for seeing some news of sales/revenues from some of these country distributors. They have had a distributor in Bangladesh but apparently they are waiting for Government registration of AgraBurstPRO before they can start selling in that country. Myanmar has had a distributor to awhile--yet no sales. Maybe they need approvals too.
That e-mail from the company listing all the field trials in various countries was encouraging because it is almost a list of FUTURE press releases for new distributors. I would hope they announce those distributors ONLY AFTER they receive government approvals or registrations. At least the news of new distributors will be right before we see news of orders from those countries.
Just saying.
Why young professionals are taking up farming in Thailand
As Thailand's rural population ages, a new initiative is encouraging young professionals to return to the countryside and establish farming communities with modern technology.
July 2, 2018
By Prisana Kongwong ,Khaosod
Thailand
When asked why he resigned from an engineering career to start anew as a farmer, Pasawut “Jack” Roongrasmi simply replies, “Because I wasn’t happy.”
Dozens of young men and women in Thailand are turning away from the modern comforts of big cities, determined to make a self-sufficient life for themselves through agriculture. To help them, a grassroots network of experienced farmers has developed a smart agricultural community called Dare to Return, assisting the youngsters in setting up their farms with modern and sustainable methods.
“I went through all kinds of training, but I wasn’t able to build upon what I had,” Mr. Roongrasmi says. “The training I got from the Dare To Return initiative opened a whole new dimension for me. I was able to learn from those who had experience working and living a better life, and little by little I was able to transform myself.”
The Dare To Return initiative is a collaborative effort to empower a new generation of self-sufficient farmers in Thailand, at a time when rural populations are aging. According to the Thai National Economic and Social Development Board, the number of people over 60 living in the countryside rose to more than 11 million in 2017 – or 17 percent of the total population.
The network aims to encourage young people who emigrated to the cities to return and develop their rural hometowns with innovative farming technologies. They believe agriculture is a vector of sustainability and resilience that can provide a long-term foundation for a society ready to adopt technological change. Through mutual assistance, community learning, and self-transformation, they hope to bridge the gap between old and new generations and build the basis for a more collaborative society, improving the quality of life for all.
“Once I internalized the fact that I am a farmer, I found that it’s a much better life than that of a salaried worker. I’ve gone further than I ever thought I would. Agriculture works beautifully when it becomes a state of mind, focused on doing what is actually feasible,” Roongrasmi says.
He says he is happy with his farm in Chiang Mai’s Mae Rim rural district, where he uses automatic irrigation and electrical supply systems to grow bromeliad plants for export. He is also taking classes at Maejo University in Chiang Mai, studying the optimization of light for plants.
Purich Singkharaj, another young Thai farmer, has a horticulture degree from Chiang Mai University. Born into a family of farmers, he chose his career path as a journey of self-discovery, among other reasons.
“After graduating, I used to work six days a week, doing overtime every day, until the company sent me to Nigeria for three years,” he says, noting that the trip gave him the chance to think about what he really wanted from life. “I realized that I was wasting my time, and that I should start my own farming operation while I still had the strength.”
Two years after returning to Thailand, he decided to open a homestay guesthouse. Visitors could use the land surrounding the house to grow onions, rice, and organic strawberries.
“My return to Thailand coincided with an economic recession. I had zero capital apart from my chickens and my plants,” he recalls. “My income came from day-to-day product sales. But I had time to pursue my interests in art and music, unlike when I was working at the company. I like this version of me better.”
Aside from owning and running the Innkham Homestay and producing organic chrysanthemums and strawberries, Mr. Singkharaj organizes one of the Dare to Return networks of new-generation farmers. He also helps care for orange and lychee orchards on several acres of family-owned land in Chiang Mai.
Another young Thai farmer, Duangjai Sirijai holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and lives in her family home in Chiang Mai’s Doi Tao rural district. She worked in Chiang Mai for seven years before transferring to Bangkok. But her life changed when her parents fell ill, forcing her to return to her hometown.
Ms. Sirijai started preparing for her move three years ahead of time – saving money, renovating the family home, making investments, and learning about agriculture, particularly longan fruit.
Because the sandy soil of her land is particularly suitable for growing roots and tubers, Sirijai turned to permaculture farming methods. She prepped the soil for four months, growing groundnuts, then cultivating Japanese mountain yams and onions. Her agricultural activity is small-scale and focuses on quality, she says.
Today, Sirijai owns two longan orchards, which she harvests in and out of season. The first has 130 trees on 2.7 acres, while the second has 60 trees on 1.2 acres.
Her farming activities not only provide for her family of six, but also help others in the community learn how to develop their own operations. She makes some of her land available to the Doi Tao Agricultural Learning Center, where she teaches agriculture.
Well it did not trade or close below .18. Been almost 2 months since we have closed below it. Seems to be support there. Does not mean much with low vol, but not much else to discuss over the last while.
So for the near future we will be between .18 and .22.
Looks like you might get some cheaper shares. Hope, but doesn't look like, .18 will hold. Didnt look at stock today till now so I don't know If there is any strength at .18.
Of these three things I am confident.
1. The grog team is ethical, and executing the business plan with integrity.
2. The product has huge potential to impact the agricultural industry.
3. The grogenisis team is absolutely working their tails off and sacrificing to see the business plan executed. They want this to succeed.
These three things may very well lead to success. We shall see.
Like IR says, this company potential is way bigger than most people are able to comprehend. The company does have a tiger by the tail, and once things and $ kick in, we are off, til then, is a slow quiet grind ALTHO tons of activity going on behind all the quiet
Well 50dma about to touch 200dma, on this vol not sure it will have any effect. Normally called golden cross. My hope is .18ish holds. Been a base for a while.
Buyers showing up in the .19s, unfortunately lots of willing sellers. The guy sitting at .22 with a LG sell is not helping. If we get news we will take him out in a few minutes. If not, opportunity to acquire shares under that price will abound.
The 88k on the ask, has put a lid on the price, and vol. As a buyer, there is no hurry, you have a pretty good idea that without news, you will be able to acquire shares below .22. It is also possible that the seller will come down, he has been there for several weeks. Might as well take your time. Gltu
I have been doing day orders. I watch for the open and put in my order based on what I see on Level 2. Any seller wanting to get out of 40,000 or more shares can
But at my price of the bid. No takers so far.

Industrial Hemp Production in US and Canada Offers Significant Market Opportunity for AgraBurstPRO™
SIOUX FALLS, SD, Nov. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- GroGenesis, Inc. (GROG), a global pioneer in sustainable agriculture technology, announced today that the company has entered the industrial hemp cultivation market in the US and Canada with its broad spectrum, organic adjuvant, AgraBurstPRO™. Based on positive feedback from hemp growers, the company has identified industrial hemp as a significant new market for AgraBurstPRO™, an organic input which optimizes the uptake of any agricultural input applied to any plant. After conducting due diligence on the hemp industry and the prospects for the legalization of industrial hemp production in the U.S., the Company field tested AgraBurstPRO™ with hemp producers who were impressed by the positive results exhibited in the health of their plants, growth rate improvement and plant size enhancement.
Mr. Richard Kamolvathin, President and CEO of GroGenesis, said, “After completing numerous field trials with our partners to validate the effectiveness of AgraBurstPRO and its more efficient delivery of all applied inputs on any plant, including hemp, it became apparent that the industrial hemp industry in Canada, where hemp farming is already legal, and the probability that hemp cultivation will become legal in the U.S. soon, presents a lucrative market for GroGenesis. Recent control test reports from cultivators have strongly encouraged us to proactively target the hemp market -- a lucrative market to tap with the multitude of industrial uses, rapid growth rate to harvest and the yet-to-be-realized potential of CBD oil.”
Kamolvathin continued, “As an organic science company focused on the reduction of toxic chemical inputs into the environment, we believe it is important to identify and add new market opportunities in other viable market sectors that align with our core values and as we continue to commercialize our flagship product, AgraBurstPRO for agriculture. Our strategy is to apply the same business model that we have used in the past by developing business relationships with distribution partners that are in a specific market sector and provide the technical, manufacturing and marketing assistance, in addition to specific protocols, for our distributors to be successful under their own private level brand.”
Hemp, one of the fastest growing plants with a sixty-day growth cycle in many states, is cultivated for fiber, oil, and seeds which are subsequently refined into numerous products including wax, biodegradable plastics, resin, textiles, pulp, paper, rope, clothing, biofuel, animal feed, paint and hemp oil. In addition, the use of CBD oil is being researched on its beneficial effects for anxiety relief, anti-seizure, pain relief, anti-acne, food ingredients and promising potential for cancer therapy.
According to the Hemp Business Journal, the U.S. hemp industry’s sales in 2017 was $820mm, including $190mm for Hemp-Derived CBD products, $181mm for personal care products and $137mm for hemp food products. However, as legal and regulatory hurdles are removed and consumer knowledge on CBD oil develops, it is estimated that the U.S. hemp industry will grow at a 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of over 14% (2018-2022) to a $1.9 Billion dollar market by 2022. In Canada, over 100,000 acres of hemp was under cultivation in 2017 with significant increases in production forecasted over the next five years.
Mr. Kamolvathin concluded, “AgraBurstPRO, as an organic input, can be an integral part in the protocols for the production of food crops, flowers and turf, in addition to cash crops such as palm oil, tobacco and hemp. With the prospect of the legalization of hemp production in the U.S, there is a significant market opportunity for the agriculture industry in both Canada and the US. Both new and veteran hemp cultivators will be establishing their farming protocols that can include AgraBurstPRO, an input that enhances drought tolerance, disease resistance and crop yields. We look forward to positively impacting the industrial hemp industry in North America and internationally."
About AgraBurstPRO™
AgraBurstPRO™ is an organic, broad spectrum adjuvant which acts as an efficient delivery system for all applied agricultural inputs. Applied as a surfactant, AgraBurstPRO™ facilitates the rapid and direct absorption of inputs through the leaves and stems of a plant which results in the more efficient access of applied and available nutrients, resulting in less fertilizer required, improving drought tolerance and increasing crop yields. By optimizing the plant's uptake of applied pest and weed controls and fertilizers, food producers can minimize other input costs, reduce the health risk to workers and produce healthy food for farmers' families and consumers. AgraBurstPRO™ improves the natural health of all plants -- including food crops, trees, vegetables, grasses and cash crops such as tobacco, palm, flowers and hemp-- by dramatically stimulating the nutrient and water uptake in plants. The solution applied as a spray is a plant-based extract which is organic, non-toxic, carcinogen-free, biodegradable and safe for use in all soil conditions. Its application amplifies every plant's natural capacity to absorb nutrients through its own foliage while augmenting root development and soil uptake. Any agricultural input's performance is enhanced by integrating the application of AgraBurstPRO™ either separately or in an input manufacturer's original formulation--including fertilizers, herbicides and fungicides.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three distinct target markets for AgraBurstPRO Organic-certified
The most obvious market for AgraBurstPRO is the rapidly growing organic food industry. From 2005 to 2014, the organic sector grew from less than $14 Billion to $35 Billion. The U.S. organic industry continued its steady growth in 2016, with food sales increasing 8.4 percent to $43 billion. Considering that total food sales increased only 0.6 percent, the preponderance of the growth is in the organic sector. According to the Organic Trade Association in its 2016 Organic Industry Survey, organic food now accounts for 5.3 percent of all food sales in the US--alot of room to grow as consumer demand for organic food accelerates. Global sales of organic food totaled approximately $90 Billion in 2016 vs. $80 Billion in 2015.
Farmers who are already Organic-certified have an economic interest in maintaining that certification and, if possible, increasing their crop yields. By incorporating AgraBurstPRO in their organic protocols, farmers can realize higher incomes from the improved yields (Yield increases in field tests in Colombia, Cuba and Bangladesh have recorded increases in production from 15% to 40%). Field tests are currently being conducted in two states in the US for soybean and corn.
Conventional Farmers Considering Transitioning to Organic
This significant market includes farmers already committed to converting from conventional (chemical) farming to organic farming. But there also is an increasing interest from conventional farmers in adopting organic methods, but not willing to accept any decrease in yield. There is a growing number of conventional farmers that would abandon chemical inputs IF they could afford the 3-5 year transition time necessary to get their land "Organic--Certified". It takes years of NOT using chemicals to get to the point that a soil sample does not register any chemical residue--a requisite for Organic certification.
To date, this transition period was economically challenging because yields typically declined and the higher expected premium organic produce prices were not realized until after certification. With AgraBurstPRO, farmers converting to organic can "afford" to complete the process because of the higher yields . As noted previously, field tests have recorded yield increases ranging from 15% on coffee to over 40% on rice.
Conventional Farmers
Conventional farmers who want to continue using their current protocols always are driven to maximize their crop yields. The fact that AgraBurstPRO is organic AND increases crop yields substantially is a plus for these farmers. Although they do not care to become Organic-Certified, using a non-chemical input reduces the toxic work conditions inherent with andling chemical inputs.
Additional Non-food Markets
As a broad spectrum agricultural input, AgraBurstPRO is effective with any plant. Non-food crops that have been, or are currently, in field tests with AgraBurstPRO are flowers, cannabis, tobacco, turf, ornamental trees, coffee, cacao, palm (palm oil), corn, mangoes, banana, lawn/turf (golf courses, lawns and sports arenas) and pasture grasses.
