We work with thousands of acres of potato in Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon, and have reduced costs from $240 per acre to $125 per acre, while
increasing yields from 5 to 20% (well, this year in some places yields were
100% higher, because the conventional potato fields were lost to Rhizoctonia,
while the sustainable fields made normal yields).  We usually improve storage
life as well.

We work with carrot growers, with wheat growers, grape growers, lettuce,
corn, turf, you name it, and reduce costs by reducing pesticide inputs and
fertilizer inputs.  We don't always improve yields, or the nutritional value
of the crop, but quite often that also occurs.  So, when you want to move
away from toxic chemical inputs, and still be successful, we'd be happy to
work with you.
