I own an operate Coyote Creek Organic Feed Mill, in just three years we have gone from zero to $3.000,000 in sales and all the time being in the black.

There is so much talk about how to increase organic farms. But, there was no opportunity for me to present my mill as an example. We are the only organic feed mill, not only in Texas but in the entire southern U.S.A.

I am seventy-three years of age, and had no idea that this mill would flourish as it has.

We have increased organic grain production in Texas by a large multiple. On the other side, the end product side there are many small family farms that are now producing organic; eggs, poultry, pork, turkeys, also, organic dairies, and the list goes on about how our mill has leveraged sustainable organic farms and farm production in just three short years.

I want an equity partner who will join me to install professional management, and then build three more mills across the southern U.S.

There is a huge pent up demand for organic feed. This in not and idea or a hunch, I took the risk and the proof is in the pudding.

Now I just need some capital investorrs. I will furnish a Start-Up Coordinator, Construction Crews, Accounting and Inventory Control and Equipment location.

I support the philanthropic aims of Slow Money, but I also want to keep in mind that there is a place for capital that expects a Return in Investment.

Contact me if this is of interesnt to you.

I am off to the Farm Fresh Dinner at the Santa Fe conference.

Best wishes to you all,

Jerry Cunningham

I would have loved to attend Slow Money this year, and I wholeheartedly approve of everything the alliance is trying to accomplish. Clearly, the food system needs a shot in the arm and the more passionate visionaries that attack the problem, the better off we’ll all be.

But, at the same time, visionaries occasionally need a dose of reality. Slow Money seeks to reinvent an awful lot, both the capital system and the food system, two of the largest industries in the world. Changing either of these industries, even miniscule amounts, requires massive amounts of investment capital. Consider this: opening one farmer’s market for every 20,000 people in this country would cost about $625 million. And that’s just a drop in the bucket when it comes to retooling the food system.

To encourage mainstream investor interest in sustainable agriculture, NewSeed identifies profit-driven companies that have the potential to improve the agriculture industry—companies that do things like manufacture natural alternatives to pesticides and fertilizers, turn farm waste into energy, or distribute produce from family farms to major grocery chains—and tells their story to the investment community so that capital from Wall Street starts flowing in the right direction.

The more “sustainable agriculture” is associated with low returns, the less private capital will be available to fund it. It’s that simple. A rational investor, whether it’s a hedge fund or a retiree, will always choose to invest money so that it generates the highest and most predictable return with the lowest risk. Our goal is to demonstrate that sustainable agriculture is an industry with tremendous growth prospects and talented professionals focused on generating market-rate investor returns.

Next week in New York City, investors will converge at the first-ever Agriculture 2.0 conference to meet entrepreneurs and discuss commercial investment in this sector. We hope that this conference, in conjunction with positive momentum generated by Slow Money, focuses mainstream investor attention on an industry with better growth prospects than nearly all others.

That’s the clear, compelling message NewSeed is trying to communicate.

Thanks. I am hoping to be able to “call the question” this afternoon in the big session. I have spoken to many folks today one on one and many share our views. Some feel that it is still too early. We shall see.
