Our seedling operation is conducted on two of our farms, on which we plant approximately 1 million seedlings per week during the busy summer seasons.  This greatly reduces our farming input costs.  Furthermore, we’re in the process of developing a seedling nursery at one of these farms, which will have a capacity of approximately 3.5 million seedlings. 

By planting our own seedlings, we have more control over the quality of the seedlings, as well as chemical applications.  We’re also in control of ensuring the correct raw materials are grown to fit into our production requirements.
