Closing the Yield Gap: Protecting Farmers’ Profits w/ Acre ShieldFarm4Profit
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.

Billy Rose explained how AcreShield provides yield protection by offering farmers hybrid seed selection tools based on comprehensive, independent trial data. This allows farmers to choose the best-performing hybrids for their fields and mitigate risk through AcreShield's proprietary insurance products, ensuring that farmers are financially protected when yields fall between 85% and 100% of the target.
Farmers using the Yield Optimizer program benefit from a tailored approach, combining data-driven hybrid selection with financial protection to close the yield gap, ultimately boosting profitability despite external challenges.
