#RealisticRegenAg

I do not sell any products. I do not follow systems that others have created. I get to know your farm or agribusiness, your needs, and work to develop a plan that works for you. You are not locked in: Once the plan is created you are free to implement it on your own, hire another company, or retain me for help along the way.

  • Farm Consulting

    Locally or globally I can help you bring clarity to your farm. This can be started anytime of the year but is usually done in the winter months (October to March) with in-season support through the summer (April-September).

    Packages

  • Agribusiness

    If you touch agriculture or food I can help you navigate the shift to climate smart agriculture. Packages can be purchased to get you started or we can develop something custom to fit your needs.

    Options

  • Funding

    Governments are stepping up with funding to support climate smart agriculture. Let me help you find the right programs to fit your needs. My consulting costs are usually covered in the program.

Farm Planning

I get to know your operation, where you are, and where you want to be. Give me access to as much, or as little, data as you like. Don’t worry if it’s not organized. I’ll figure it out.

Pricing includes four meetings in-person (within 100km of Taber, AB) or online and support through email, text, or phone for a 12 month period.

This is ideally started in the fall with new clients so that plans can be worked on over the winter. The summer can be used for implementing and fine-tuning them.

Annual Retainer

Unlike most agronomy businesses, I don’t try to hook you into my services year over year. I love to keep working with you over the long term though.

Pricing includes four meetings in-person (within 100km of Taber, AB) or online and support through email, text, or phone for a 12 month period.

This is ideal for existing clients who want support for the farm on an annual basis or who just want to have a resource throughout without a lot of upfront work.

We have worked with Scott for over a decade on the agronomy of our mixed farm operation which includes 4300 irrigated acres of process potatoes, seed canola, grains and yellow peas. We find his company to be very timely, thorough and conscientious in his agronomy recommendations for our operations. Due to neighbouring sensitive crops & wetlands he is also environmentally conscious when making those recommendations. Highly recommended!

For more complex applications and support it can be higher but the cost of consulting is covered by the funding (70-85% depending on the delivery partner).

  • Soil testing/mapping

  • Manure, compost & digestate hauling and application

  • Split applied nitrogen & nitrogen inhibitors

  • Getting set up for rotational grazing (internal fencing + water)

For more complex applications and support it can be higher. The cost is not likely to be covered by program but I will look for options in each and in the partner programs.

Regenerative Agriculture Programs
