WEBINAR: CoverCress Inc.: Adding Farmer Revenue by Providing the 1st Low Carbon Intensity Cash Cover Crop on Unused Land Over Winte
by Cris Handel (CoverCress Inc./CAAFI) Our conclusions from interactions with 500+ farmers over the last 3 years:
CoverCress harvest date and $50+/acre cash margin (via yield) are the top 2 drivers for farmers.

$50/acre cash margin/acre can be delivered at 1500 lbs. yields. Aim for more with 2000 lbs.

Yield and maturity dates need to be improved for ramp up. READ MORE
