      How does the company protect against changes in raw material and crop prices?

          Sample Questions & Answers

          How much do the farm's yield and prices received change year to year?

          Fruit and nut crop yields and prices fluctuate sharply due to demand, acres planted, weather conditions, and inventory levels. Some years can produce bumper crops; other times, fruit and nuts are so blemished or damaged that the yield is negligible.

           

          How challenging is finding and keeping seasonal farmworkers?

          Most fruit and nut crops must be handpicked by laborers willing to tolerate inconsistent hours, hard work, and low pay. Farm workers can often find jobs offering comparable pay that is much less labor-intensive. Small or remote orchards can have...
