This program is we set aside four check block fields, one treated, okay, with our program and one untreated. And our guarantee to you is that the delta, the difference between the treated field, okay, versus the untreated field on corn will be 25 bushels or greater and on soybeans, nine bushels or greater. interest-free to spend $100 to $125 more. So wait a second. That's a big ask.

I'm already losing money and you want me to spend more money. But when you plug the ROI on this, and you get 30 bushels at 450, okay, you're looking at a 40% ROI. Now, if you fall below that 25 bushels that we're guaranteeing, we step in and we write you a check. So we're trying to de-risk a transition to a multi-pass fungicide and biological and growth stimulants. Think Barry Bonds, okay?

You know, these are the steroids that are- Mark McGuire. Mark McGuire. Lance Armstrong. Yeah. But these are legal, okay? All right. And everything is EPA approved. So I'm very bullish on this. The reaction by our farming friends has been very positive. It's like, all right. In fact, some have said, would you do the check block fields on my particular field? So we pick a field together.

And we're going to go 10 acres of untreated and 120-foot buffer and 10 acres of treated. Okay, we use Ag MRI. We fly over the fields. We put tissue samples. We really want to make sure that we have a good comparison. So you're doing that? Oh, yeah. That's not a farmer cost. No, we do that. Yeah, we cover that cost. Good point.

We share that information back to our farmer because at the end of the day, we want all of his enrolled acres to exceed this delta. And that generates that positive ROI. This has never been done before. I had to take this to our worldwide reinsurers from London markets to Bermuda to New York City. I've been on the road nonstop for the last two months.

They're very optimistic because they look at the data. So what we do is we do a risk assessment of all those products, all of our C-trial fields. And we create this Monte Carlo simulation, runs one in 10,000. And we've actually, just looking at the data unemotionally, we've now vetted out that we're very confident that that delta, that guarantee, you're going to get it.

And when I put my farming hat on, so I spent $100 to $125. You gave me 0%. I followed the rules of the road. And I picked up 30 bushels? Hell yeah, man. Sign me up. So this is exciting for us. And it's a new program. You can go to Acreshield, fill out the form, or call us. We actually have an 800 number where people answer. How's that for a change? I like that. I do like that.
