Healthy Soil Starts with the Right Compost
Your soil can't do its job without the biology to back it up. At Carbon Cycle Consulting, we help Jefferson County farmers build healthier, more productive soils using on-farm compost systems, soil health consulting, and bio-carbon inputs. Whether you're in Lake Mills, Waterloo, or Johnson Creek, we’re here to improve your ground.
What We Do
We offer compost consulting and soil health services designed for Wisconsin farms. Our team evaluates your current soil conditions and designs a practical plan to build microbial activity, organic matter, and long-term soil resilience.
Our on-farm compost design service helps you turn your own waste streams manure, bedding, crop residue into nutrient-rich, biologically active compost piles. We teach you how to build, monitor, and apply compost at the right time and rate.
To accelerate results, many farms also use Liquid Living Carbon and Granulated Living Carbon carbon-based biological tools that boost microbial populations and help soils retain nutrients.
Who We Help
We work with all types of operations in Jefferson County, including
- Dairy farms managing manure and bedding
- Row crop farms with compacted or low-yield fields
- Organic growers building resilient soil systems
- Acreage landowners focused on sustainability
- Regenerative farmers adopting biology-first practices
If you manage land and want your soil to give more back, we’ll help you make it happen.
How It Works
Our approach is simple and hands-on
- Assess: We test your soil and analyze your compost materials, field goals, and constraints.
- Plan: You get a custom compost system plan, including windrow design, turning schedule, and microbial benchmarks.
- Apply: We walk you through setup, application timing, and follow-up evaluations. We also recommend and supply Living Carbon products if needed.
We don’t offer generic templates. Everything is tailored to your land and operation.
