Abstract
3Bar Biologics improves yield, profitability, and sustainability for large family farm operations. Our beneficial microbial inoculants will increase crop yield while reducing dependence on chemical fertilizer and pesticides.
Our target is 500+ acre farms in Ohio and adjacent states growing corn, soybeans, and wheat. Our initial inoculant package is 1 gallon, which covers 40 acres and can be easily applied by combining with liquid fertilizer on the planter using conventional equipment.
Our network of strategic distributors includes farmer owned co-ops, retailers, and consultants who directly sell to farmers. The key to our model is a 5-10x ROI for farmers and a higher margin rate for distributors than other products they sell.
We have exclusive license to microbial strains discovered by The Ohio State University. Strains used in 2014 beta were proven to increase yield 5% in University field trials. Our novel microbial packaging device (pat. pending) delivers a breakthrough in freshness and viability for numerous beneficial microbes.
