Free Write 3-26

Today is a good day I feel for me.  I believe that I have just in the last three to four days stumbled upon a real game changer on what could be my future.  I was contacted by a lady that was refered to me by one of the University of Missouri research experts.  She had heard I was very interested in the Elderberry market and she is in the process of creating a huge dietary supplement and juice company.  THe main products will be elderberry with other things like blueberry and aronia as well.  She is really wanting me to invest in this company so I can become a partner which I would love to  do. This was however, not the main reason she called.  SHe called because she was interested in the plan I had designed on how to grow the berries on a very commercial scale.  I believe that the only way to successfully grow this type of plant is to do it with very close attentiion to detail and how else to do it then supply the product to people to grow that you had already and make sure they are buying the fertilizers and irrigation through me as well.  I felt as though I would model it after the chicken house theory that Tysons and Georges uses to produce chicken.  They are contacted by potential farmers who have interest in putting chicken houses up.  THe farmer is responsible for the land and the buildings and Tysons will provide the chicken and feed as well as guarantee that they will buy the chickens and pay them as almost a rental fee per chicken that survives.  I will do the same except I will pay per pound of berries that they produce. 
One of the problems is being all organic it is hard to get rid of disease.  Becasue the university does not have much research on how to get rid of the disease I decided to spread this operatiion out over about three states which would be Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana.  This also for frost and water purposes as well.
THis lady that approached me was the founder of dynamic lasering.  THis is a company she formed in california and sold out to a very well kown laser company and then moved back to Missouri and started anther one in her home town of Herman.  She believes that this compnay we are in the process of forming is going to be in the billion dollar range in roughly 10 years which is something that is far fetched but could be attainable with the product supply attained and the mass marketing goes to plan.  She is working with a lead advisor doctor to Dr. Oz which is the famous tv show and when they say something the thing goes viral.  SHe also has a firend in China that is married to a news reporter and magazine writer that will be the marketing there and then also she is going to South America to get it rolling down there this summer.  The US is very tricky but she has already made contacts with Wal-Mart and other big retailers so that should be very big.  With all this internationl attention she will need the product to support it so thats were I come in.  With talking to her she and I feel that we will need around 200 acres of these plants which would create on the third year around 2 millions pounds of berries.  THis is a considerable amount becasue we would buy them from the farmer for around .90cents and resale them for around $2.25 which would make somewhere around 3-5 million a year.
