About Us

Robert Cain

SeaAgri, inc., a “green company”, began operations in January 2002.  Robert Cain, a lifelong advocate of sea mineral solids, organic gardening and farming, decided to investigate current agricultural practices to determine

Dr. Maynard Murray

if the time was right to resurrect the technology of Sea Energy Agriculture 30 years after Dr. Maynard Murray’s death.  Murray’s research and discoveries literally died with him in 1982.  Robert began his research via internet for any relevant or current information about Dr. Murray and sea mineral solids.  He discovered one article written by David Yarrow and published in the November 2001 issue of Acres USA. Robert contacted David to discuss this article and current agricultural philosophies. David informed Robert that the Acres USA article produced more calls, letters and emails than anything he had published in 30 years of writing.  They agreed that contemporary farmers and ranchers are genuinely

concerned about minerals and trace elements in their soil and the nutritional quality of foods and feeds they grow, and would appreciate the holistic elegance of Murray's methods. They concluded that the entire agriculture industry, including organic, sustainable and conventional, would now accept Dr. Murray’s technology. Unfortunately, Dr. Murray’s sea mineral solids were not available for purchase anywhere!

Consequently, the seeds of SeaAgri, inc. were sown when Robert and David finally met in Atlanta to discuss the feasibility of a business to promote the lost legacy of Dr. Murray’s profound research and ultimately distribute Murray's sea minerals to agricultural communities.  Along with Robert’s wife, Carmen Hagen, they began to develop ideas for a business name, trademark, product name, packaging, labels, marketing, and applications.  During the summer of 2002, Robert visited the source of Murray’s sea solids and made arrangements once again to create and ship these amazing minerals to the U.S.  Efforts began to seek OMRI and USDA National Organic Program listing. Since that time, we are proud to

Robert’s wife, Carmen

announce that SeaAgri’s sea minerals, now called SEA-90 are listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in production of organic food, fiber and livestock and the USDA NOP as sea salt.  In 2003 Robert made contact with two other lifelong advocates of Dr. Murray’s work, Chuck Walters and Ed Heine. Chuck, the founder of ACRES USA, asked Dr. Murray to speak at the 1976 ACRES Convention.  After hearing his speech and reading his newly published book, “Sea Energy Agriculture”,  Chuck was forever sold on the connection between sea mineral solids and human nutrition when used in agriculture.

Once Walters learned that Robert actually worked closely with Dr. Murray on his hydroponic vegetable farm located in Mt Meyers, FL during the late 1970s, he informed Robert that his new book “Fertility From the Ocean Deep”, covering Dr. Murray’s work and the importance of using sea mineral solids in agriculture and the resultant human and animal health, would be published in early 2004 by ACRES USA.  Chuck encouraged Robert to contact Ed Heine the only living witness to Dr.Murray’s farm scale research trials.  Sea mineral solids were spread on Heine’s family farm during the 1950’s and he actually witnessed the astounding results of Murray’s research trials.

In 2004, SeaAgri, inc. became official with our registered product SEA-90. During this time, Carmen retired from the corporate world and began to devote her time, knowledge and experience in marketing and business management to help SeaAgri accomplish its vision. Our first two shipments arrived in the U.S. in 2004.  In December 2004, Acres USA released Chuck Walter’s new book “Fertility from the Ocean Deep”. The agricultural community’s exposure to SeaAgri’s remarkable product SEA-90 increased even more dramatically following the publication of an article written by Carmen and Robert concerning remineralization of soils with sea minerals (SeaAgri Article).  ACRES USA then honored Robert Cain and David Yarrow with an invitation to speak about utilizing sea minerals in soil remineralization at the December 2005 ACRES USA Conference.  Chuck Walters interviewed Robert (Cain Interview) and Robert was again asked to share his knowledge at the 2007 ACRES USA conference.

To date, SeaAgri has distributed over seven million pounds throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.  Currently, agronomists are incorporating SEA-90 into all types of farming, grazing and hydroponics programs with outstanding success!

It is SeaAgri’s vision to improve the quality of human and animal health by increasing the nutrient density in food by the application of SEA-90 sea mineral solids into all types of farming programs.  Therefore, we proudly present SEA-90, the highest quality sea minerals available to soil stewards in the conventional, organic, and sustainable agriculture communities throughout the world.
