Wow, still trying to digest this but NO CRAP there was a good reason for the time that's passed and Jan's behind the scenes activities, recent funding, and more.
I think you may be off on that number, being that you gave a "minimum," but in a GOOD way - I think it's more likely were closer to TWICE that number!
This is a major deal! The way I calculate, the revenue for growing / supply direct to US importers is on the order of 10 TIMES what we were expecting for leasing the land!
We could do 2 cycles in a year, first cycle for garlic at $6,000 per acre PLUS the second cycle for onion at $4,000 per acre (I'm using the MIDRANGE values here). That's $10,000 per acre per year for growing, compared to the $800-$1,200 per acre per year for leasing!!
