Four Biofac departments serve specific areas of diversified agriculture:
Crop Yield Enhancement - Surge Pro
 Row Crop Commodities (cotton, corn, milo & grains)
 Fruit and Vegetables (all varieties, all climates)
 Urban and Greenhouse (lawn, garden, greenhouse)
 Stored Products (transport, warehouses, silos)
 Strategy (beneficials vs. damaging pests)
While some host specific beneficial insects are produced for each department, there are “cross-overs” that fit hundreds of different plants, flowers or crop situations.
President’s Message:
M. A. “Buddy” Maedgen, Jr.
Agriculture has been our company’s primary interest. My family were German farmers back to the 1500’s in the area of Dresden and Hanover. Diversified production operations of vegetables, cotton, grain, and cattle have sustained our family for centuries.
 My education started with Christian parents who instilled work ethics in their children early. We enjoyed growing up and working together on the farm near the agricultural community of Mathis, TX. Friends and kinfolk were dear. Most relatives graduated from Texas A&M College. My grandfather, C. A. Maedgen, Sr., ‘08, and my father Malcolm A. Maedgen, Sr., ‘33, (at right) majored in
Animal Husbandry. I majored in Plant Sciences, ‘58, my daughter, Kimberly M. White majored in Exercise Technology, ‘84; and my son Kreg A. Maedgen majored in Agricultural Economics, ‘87. Following three years as an Army Aviator, I farmed and raised livestock for 22 years. Here we became familiar with natural enemies as crop protectants.
My mother, Evelyn Maedgen, born and raised on a South Texas farm, has spent most of her life at family farm operations while teaching school for 35 years. Love of family and nature are evident in her prized cooking and flower gardening. She specializes in homemade pies, cakes, fried chicken and cornbread that have become family trademarks. Much of Biofac Crop
Care’s focus on quality and most of the better traits in each of us Maedgens, are thanks to Mom’s instruction and loving care
One of the most potent beneficials known to man is the Lacewing |
Company Background
Experiencing benefits from the use of natural enemies (beneficial insects) as crop protectors led the Maedgen family to construct our “insectary” in 1978. A family affair since inception, production diversity increased to twenty species during the 80’s. Refinement of objectives led us to focus on 10 species today.
 At Biofac our employees make all the difference. Throughout the year they include two Ph. D. entomology consultants, 3 sales executives, 18 technicians and supervisors, with general manager and customer service manager, both college graduates. Our people ensure superior
service to you and remain our greatest asset.
