Company Profile
Castle International Resources is the leading source of information about the
agricultural use of Cross-Linked Polyacrylamide (CLP), in the world. For nearly
two decades
we've annually sponsored and participated in scores of government and university research
projects around the world on the use of CLP soil polymers.
Cross-linked polymer looks like rock salt when dry and captures up to 400 times its
weight in rainwater. Used in agriculture, this material makes water and nutrients
available to plants at all times, producing outstanding crop yields. CLP-raised plants
mature faster, are more disease resistant, and can be effectively grown in areas of the
world which are too low in annual rainfall to support cost-effective 'traditional'
farming. The use of CLP in complete systems including special UV-stabilized landscape
fabric and drip irrigation are the main focus of our current research efforts.

In Memoriam
Daniel J. Wofford, Jr., was a retired Foreign Service officer with a farm background
and a strong interest in research relating to problems of agriculture and water/soil
conservation. He held a B.A. in Asian studies from the University of Oklahoma, and
completed four years of graduate work in Far Eastern Studies and Geography at the
University of Washington. On retiring from government service, he started Western
Polyacrylamide, Inc. and devoted his efforts to researching and developing this promising
water-conserving product, cross-linked polyacrylamide, most notably by keeping the price
of it affordable for a wide variety of applications.
Apparently in good health, Dan unexpectedly suffered a stroke early in October 1998 and
expired shortly thereafter. Dan's remains were interred next to his father's at the family
burial site in Arkansas. He is greatly missed by us all.
