This is in addition to the company’s commitment to allocate 2.5% of gross revenues to non-profit programs that support farmers though education, technology transfer, and farm sustainability programs.

In comparison, BioPrime prices showed no fluctuations. The product has effectively zero correlation to fossil fuels and energy prices.
