Weekly Commodity Snapshot
Nothing matters more to us than getting our clients the best possible return in a socially responsible manner. Peoples Company land managers utilize advanced technology to document and analyze productivity, soil health, conservation practices, and capital improvements. The end results are improved yields, increased income, and maximum appreciation.
Our model identifies progressive farmers who are aligned with the landowner’s goals and objectives. The farmers that fit this model do not require constant production decision oversight. They embrace the best practices and emerging technologies to increase farm productivity and the returns for both the landowner and themselves.
Leading Harvest
Leading Harvest Farmland Management Standard is the industry standard for sustainable agriculture. Created by diverse stakeholders for applications across all geographies, crop types, and management systems, it is scientifically rooted, scalable, and independently audited.
Carbon Credits
Peoples Company and CIBO Technologies have partnered to secure carbon credits for regenerative agriculture practices. Carbon credits will be offered to an initial 20,000 acres of farmland managed by Peoples Company.

Land Manager Objectives
The Peoples Company land management approach provides an intense focus on using information, analysis, production strategies, and advancing technology to increase production on the most fertile acres while allowing for conservation of the more sensitive parts of a farm. Peoples Company Land Managers target four areas of a farm to achieve desired outcomes:
Conservation
Peoples Company’s proprietary conservation lease amendment addresses the impact of farming practices on soil erosion and water quality at an individual farm level, including tillage practices, crop rotation, permanent seeding (including CRP), cover crops, and the placement of commercial fertilizers.
Fertility
The amount, timing, and placement of commercial fertilizers is critical to water quality and soil fertility. Peoples Company land managers compare crop removal (yields), and crop nutrients applied by the operator as well as conduct regular interval soil tests to measure progress towards a goal of balanced soil fertility.
Drainage
Managing surface water with traditional conservation practices, such as grass waterways and permanent seeding, can reduce erosion. Additional drainage tile may be required to manage excess water below the surface to increase a farm’s productivity.
Yields
Peoples Company’s strategy to merge soil conservation and adequate drainage with balanced soil fertility translates into a probability for increasing crop yields.
