This security includes a unique and important financial impact for organic farmers – the Soil Restoration Pool. Building soil health is ongoing work for organic farmers. Healthy, nutrient-dense soils produce nutritious foods. The Soil Restoration Pool offers support for farmers within the Iroquois Valley portfolio in their soil-building projects during the organic transition and beyond. As investors accrue interest, the Company also pays an additional 0.5% into the Pool, which is paid out directly to farmers. Funds are available for all soil-building projects, such as soil amending, agronomist consulting, reimbursement for cover crop seed, fencing assistance, and/or reimbursement or rental expense or mortgage interest. These funds function like grants and are deployed to farmers at no cost.
