>Key here is organic and problem is veggies now lack that farm fresh feel . What nutrients do a polymer coating add? Does Dow make the coating? LNDC owns an equity interest in Winset farms. That's what I was thinking. The polymer coating is different, It's a barrier to keep foods fresher & longer. youtube.com RE:LNDC At one time I moderated the LNDC board at I HUB The header there should help answer your questions. I'm no longer a stock holder. landec.com landec.com landec.com Newer snip> This investment in Windset is the continuation of Landec's ongoing strategic objective to pursue opportunities provided by healthy living trends that are driving increased consumer demand for fresh vegetables and fruit. Landec recognizes Windset as the most advanced and highest yielding hydroponic greenhouse vegetable producer in North America where the demand for hydroponic greenhouse grown produce is rapidly increasing. The hydroponic greenhouse process uses no soil and a fraction of the water required in field production. Furthermore, Windset's process results in higher yields per acre and is not burdened with traditional weather-related risks. Gary Steele, Landec's Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are excited about further advancing our relationship and commitment to Windset. Landec originally invested $15.0 million into Windset in February 2011 and $11.0 million in July 2014. Our interest in Windset since the initial investment has been motivated by three primary objectives: (1) to realize a significant financial return, (2) be a strategic partner with the industry leader in the hydroponic year-round growing of fruit and vegetables, and (3) to explore new crop targets, new growing techinques and/or new technologies that can benefit from or be enhanced by Windset's knowledge of hydroponic greenhouse growing. This latest investment in Windset advances all three of these objectives. "Our new $7.0 million investment in Senior B Preferred Stock and Windset's plans for using the funds do not change our current guidance regarding Windset for Landec's fiscal 2015. We do, however, expect that Windset's use of these funds will have a positive impact on the change in the fair market value of our Windset investment in future years."
