Organic Evaluation Index (OEI)
Not every farm is a candidate for organic. We have developed a weighted scale to evaluate land that will successfully convert and deliver desirable yields. In addition to details such as proximity to organic grain storage, soil type, irrigation, etc., we also look for the ability to produce manure as well as renewable energy on the land.
