Very clear & concise presentation and the product is exceptional. I'd encourage you to mention some real life examples of what a 30% increase in yield means to a farmer's family, --what can & do they buy with the extra money? Does it make the difference between starvation and life? Between staying on their land or having to forfeit it to factory farms, or..? Those types of examples can add reality & power to the idea. It seems like there's a big market niche that could be described; you could mention the price of traditional irrigation systems that is prohibitive, and pressures from corporations like Monsanto which make it harder to be competitive--making this even more useful a tool.
-anyway, I am so happy to hear you pitch your product. I wish I had a million to invest in what you're doing!
