I want to plant, harvest and sell bamboo. Once the first planting is done the crop will last for years to come.

Personal experience and production goals summary:

I grew up in a farming community and spent all of my teen years and until I was around 26 years old farming. I worked on both a 100 sow farrow to finish operation and a 120 head dairy farm. In both cases I grew into the operations manager for both. I left farming to go into the windows manufacturing buisness and have spent the last 30 years working in all aspects of this buisness. The majority of my carrer has been as the V.P. of operations. I want to get back into farming and bamboo is a up and coming crop. I would like to start out growing the bamboo and then look at continuing on and possible process it also. Please feel free to contact me and I would love to talk more about this.

 

Thank you
