- City
- Phone Number

Place the package and seeds in a zip bag and someone will contact you to pick them up.

Thank you!

This is the package one of our employees received today.

What are you looking at? ⁉️ 👀
Well, it's a pig lagoon 🐷. The stake you see is the lagoon level gauge. It tells farmers the level of their lagoons.
This one is 8 inches below stop pump, meaning the temporary liquid storage is low and can withstand more than 24 hours of rainfall. During hurricane season, farmers are allowed to go below stop pump. There is 44 inches between the liquid and the top of the lagoon. Farmers stay prepared for rainfall by managing their lagoons responsibly all year round.
With hurricane season upon us, you can be rest assured farmers are working hard to prepare for the worst of storms. ⛈
