I want to be a farmer. I want to treat the farm like a startup. At which point in the application process can I try to convince you that you need a farmer in your portfolio? Also, when and where can I go into details to describe how it would be different from today's conventional operations?

That's basically the definition of a startup, so na matter what you do, if you can prove scalability like this, you are a startup.
