💡 Budget Notes
The land is already owned (no purchase cost included).
We plan to use existing community tractors and labor.
Marketing cost includes website, GitBook white paper, investor deck, and outreach.
Irrigation will be installed in stages, starting with priority plots.
Cost estimates are based on real vendor quotes and prior field experience.
🔄 How We Use the Funds
🔹 50% goes directly into farming activities (land prep, seeds, labor)
🔹 25% allocated to infrastructure (irrigation, storage)
🔹 25% reserved for logistics, admin, and contingency
Every dollar raised will be tracked, reported, and optimized to show early traction to future investors.
