We are in the process of developing a program where we work directly with hay producers and other feed ingredient suppliers to deliver pre-qualified products to Redeemer Feed or directly to Redeemer Feed clients, which meet our strict quality standards. This “cooperative effort” addresses multiple issues: (1) reduces variability in product quality (especially hay); (2) eliminates the “guesswork” related to product weight and nutrient profile that is entrenched within hay buying decisions because Redeemer Feed’s products are weighed and come with a nutrient profile that is thoroughly explained; (3) reduces the risk of purchasing roughage products that contain non-target forage species (e.g., johnsongrass), residual herbicides, or excess dirt or other contaminants; and (4) eliminates the need for Redeemer Feed clients to have to pre-inspect bulk hay purchases because they will receive online access to photos (representing quality and storage conditions), nutrient profiles, certified growing and harvesting conditions (e.g., irrigated vs. non-irrigated; fertilization rate; stage of maturity when cut; 1st, 2nd, or 3rd cutting, etc.), and Redeemer Feed inspection reports.
