Credential cost
Record-Verified means one thing: this farm keeps planting, input, and application records on BAU Farm Intelligence, and the operator passed the platform exam. It is not a food-safety audit and it is not GAP, GHP, or USDA Organic.
Not GAP, GHP, USDA Organic, or a third-party food-safety audit. Ask growers for those separately.

FAQ
Straight answers about plans, credentials, and pilot billing.
Nothing extra. It is included with any active BAU farm plan. During early access every plan is free, so there is no credential fee now. After 2027 pilot validation, farm plans start at $19/month.
Those are BAU's internal service costs: reviewing records, issuing the credential, maintaining the public verification page, and renewing it each year. They are included in the plan price rather than billed as a separate credential fee.
Billing starts only after 2027 pilot validation. Every plan remains free during early access, and BAU will email growers at least 30 days before any plan starts billing.
No. Record-Verified means one thing: this farm keeps planting, input, and application records on BAU Farm Intelligence, and the operator passed the platform exam. It is not a food-safety audit and it is not GAP, GHP, or USDA Organic.
Yes. Each earned credential has a public credential ID, QR code, and verification page that buyers and lenders can check without seeing private farm records.
Join early access, keep your production records on BAU, and be ready for Record-Verified review when your farm is prepared.
