| Fully Integrated Environmental Plans
|
|
EMS,
LLC
has been in the forefront of developing environmental programs and plans that help producers stay ahead of the curve on a voluntary/regulatory approach to production. By giving producers, proactive-voluntary programs they are able to better prepare themselves for their regulatory compliance visits and changes in regulation laws. Proactive producers are also better positioned to help influence those laws when the time comes.

On-Farm
Assessments
|
|
These environmental assessments, conducted through the On-Farm Assessment and Environmental Review
(OFAER) Program, which is funded by America’s Clean Water Foundation, help producers evaluate their site in five major environmental risk areas. The assessment identifies strengths and challenges within each of those five areas and provides the producer with practical recommendations to address the challenges that they might face. As a no-cost, confidential and non-regulatory service, this is a wonderful proactive measure to help producers find out where their operation fits within the environmental spectrum.
