The Beast Project:
The Catalyst for Revenue Liftoff
The Beast is commissioned at Napoleonville Production Unit 1. Fresh test bales of SGP+™ are now rolling off the retrofitted Selco/Mosley Badger Double Ram Press — unlocking production capacity for SGP+™, SupremeAG™ and SupremeOR™ and positioning IFUS for accelerated growth.

Project Progress Status
From acquisition to commissioned production — NPU1 is now producing test bales of SGP+™ and moving toward quality confirmation and order fulfillment.
Strategic Acquisition Announced
IFUS purchases the Selco/Mosley Badger Double Ram Press to meet surging demand for SGP+™, SupremeAG™ and SupremeOR™. Delivery targeted for early June.
Inspection, Retrofit & Upgrades
A scored shaft discovered during inspection. Supplier performed full retrofit plus significant internal component upgrades at their cost — resulting in a refreshed, higher-capability machine at a fraction of new cost.
Delivery Window Confirmed
Delivery estimated on or before July 30, 2026. Plant preparations continued in parallel for orderly receipt, commissioning, and rapid ramp to production.
Installation Complete
The Beast arrived and was installed at the Napoleonville facility. Integration, diagnostics, and plant readiness work set the stage for commissioning.
Commissioning Begins
Installation was announced complete and the machine moved into commissioning and validation.

NPU1 Commissioned • Test Bales Rolling
The Beast is officially commissioned. Fresh test bales of SGP+™ are now coming off the press at Napoleonville Production Unit 1.
- Initial timing established at 18-second cycles
- Software refinement underway toward 15-second cycles
- Operating milestone: 1 bale/minute — 600 bales per 12-hour shift
- QA and herd testing initiated at Deer Run Ranch
- Transport and storage integrity testing underway
SAG™ production follows after SGP+™ quality is confirmed. Backorders are slated to be filled once product standards are met.

Quality Confirmation → Order Fulfillment
Confirm SGP+™ standards, bring SAG™ online, then convert capacity into backorder fulfillment and new cattle and dairy orders.
The Machine Powering the Expansion
Harris Badger Double Ram (Two-Ram) Press — advanced, high-density baling with digital diagnostics for maximum uptime.
Selco/Mosley Badger Double Ram Press
A high-performance two-ram industrial baler purpose-built for dense, consistent bales of agricultural biomass — now commissioned at NPU1 and producing test bales of SGP+™.
- High-density 2,200-lb bale production with proprietary technology
- Analog + digital controls for remote troubleshooting and reduced downtime
- Initial operating pace: 1 bale/minute — 600 bales per 12-hour shift
- Upgraded internal components for improved reliability
- Supports production of SGP+™, SupremeAG™ and SupremeOR™
Capacity Math That Moves the Needle
The Beast is commissioned and producing test bales. The initial operating milestone is built to convert quality-confirmed production into fulfilled orders.

Next Timing Target
Large cattle and dairy operations routinely require 300+ bales per day. NPU1 is now producing test bales of SGP+™, with SAG™ to follow after quality standards are confirmed.
“With the commissioning of our new baler, SGP+™ is now being produced and tested for Quality Assurance. SAG™ will follow. Once we are confident that our product standards are met, we will begin to fill backorders as well as newly placed orders.”
Why This Matters for Shareholders
The Beast is no longer an installation project. It is a commissioned production unit moving from test bales to quality confirmation.
