Gypsoil History

Gypsoil™ was founded in 2002 by Ron and Cheryl Chamberlain, who both grew up on Indiana farms. Ron has a degree in agriculture from Purdue and spent more than 35 years in the agricultural industry both in Europe and in the US. With his extensive experience working with crops and soils, Ron developed the belief that soil structure was a major contributor to crop success or failure. Ron and Cheryl identified the benefits that gypsum could bring to establishing proper soil structure and started Gypsoil to help bring these benefits to farmers in the Midwest.

In June 2009, Beneficial Reuse Management acquired Gypsoil and Ron became Director of Gypsum Programs for the company. Beneficial Reuse Management is in the business of identifying opportunities to utilize byproducts of various manufacturing processes in safe and effective ways that benefit land owners and others that can use these materials. Through this process, Beneficial Reuse Management helps to conserve natural resources and preserve landfill space, while helping the environment. Since Gypsoil is created as a byproduct of the eco-friendly process of producing electricity, it was an ideal match for Beneficial Reuse Management.

Gypsoil's mission is to make a positive difference in our customers soil productivity while conserving natural resources and protecting the environment.
