Sweet Corn Project
FOR CONSIDERATION
Following any successful infrastructure improvement, core equipment can enable us to consider The Sweet Corn Project in acreage, through the centered acquisition of a mechanized harvester. We were growing 1 Acre and harvested by hand as all we can handle at that time, due to volunteer response. We need about $200,000 these days to help start, automate and operate a new mechanized Sweet Corn Project, with needed equipment.
