Zach's communicator was ringing when a very polite voice answered on the other end. "Could I help you? Who's calling, please?"
"Francis, this is Zachariah Spinelli of the Z1 ranch. I'm standing right here with your husband Lester and I had some questions for him about nectar prices at your location. If you don't mind me asking, how much are they paying the old farmer per ounce for you all to live now?"
"Mr. Spinelli, he just renegotiated a new contract after some upgrades were made to the old storage system because we were losing too much. We get 250 credits per ounce now, but we have to go through a broker and he takes 50%. Then the remaining 125 credits are split equally between the farm and the producing Genmen, so that equals out to 62½ credits per ounce, Sir, which is better than what we were doing."
Zack's mouth fell open. "Did you say you get 62½ credits per ounce and that's it? No more?"
