EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTION

In our trial grounds we conduct experimental seed production for our customers on new varieties and/or species. Some of these experimental productions are done in the open field and others are done in net houses or cages. Prices for the open field production vary depending upon the species and specific requirements. We maintain good inventory on three different cage sizes for which we charge a flat rate to take any species or variety from sowing through seed harvest and cleaning. Below are the three cage sizes.

12’ x 24’ (.0066 acres)	$500.00
24’ x 24’ (.0132 acres)	$750.00
24’ x 48’ (.0624 acres)	$1,000.00
