Creating Impact Together

Additionally, we invite you to partner in experimental field plots.

These plots will demonstrate several varieties of oats (including high in protein), chickpeas, lentils and peas, and regenerative agricultural farming practices including intercropping, cover cropping and pollination strips.

Flags of partners will be displayed around the field plots. Partners will receive pictures and updates on the plots during seeding, mid-season and just prior to harvest. After the event, each partner will receive a media package that includes images with the company representatives and farm partners in attendance, with their branded flag in the field.
