"Buy this Product", "You should Spray this", "Just cross-fen
Have you heard this before in our industry? We have just entered our eighth decade of "input-oriented" agriculture. Is it working? Good question...
The land management and ranching industries are saturated with input-oriented companies and salesmen encouraging practitioners to “buy this product or that product to kill this or grow this”. The livestock side of the industry has produced almost unlimited resources for understanding different breeds or genetics. However, the actual understanding of the land resources and what is growing on the land has been left to local university extension programs and/or conservation agencies. Both of these have suffered tremendous losses in both institutional knowledge and staff resources over the last two decades. They can no longer meet the needs of land managers, especially larger operations. PLG looks to fill a hole in the industry with knowledgeable land management services focusing on inventory, monitoring, and evaluations that help managers make informed decisions whether or not to “buy this product or that product” and ultimately enhance their economic and ecological bottom-line. Our services are particularly helpful to absentee landowners that would like to keep track of their property condition.
What about Carbon? With the emerging carbon/ecosystem credit markets, land managers will need technical assistance to effectively manage/market/and sell credits. PLG can provide your operation with the information, technical assistance, and even turn-key services to make sure your carbon or ecosystem credits are marketed, certified, and in compliance to ensure you get the most out of your land.
