Closing the Yield Gap: Protecting Farmers’ Profits w/ Acre Shield

Billy Rose, the owner of AcreShield, the discussion centered on protecting farmers' risks and ensuring higher farm average yields through hybrid selection. AcreShield offers a solution called the "Yield Optimizer," which helps farmers minimize the "yield gap"—the difference between actual yields and the target yield of 100% or more of their historical average. This gap can often determine whether a farm operation remains profitable, especially in the face of market volatility and low commodity prices.
