Farm Portfolio

Ag Resource Strategies, LLC has developed and now is offering the services to develop an AGEQA™ Farm Portfolio system to government agencies, business enterprises, and private or public organizations.

The AGEQA™ Farm Portfolio is as set of indices and arithmetic indexing system developed by government institutions, universities and Ag Resource Strategies, LLC. The indices comprise of multilateral economic, commercial, and environmental resources and factors that are selected and customized to fit the policy and business goals of the stakeholders. The application of the indices is to maximize the overall output, efficiency, and gain that may not otherwise be achievable through the management of each factor or resource on an individual basis. Once compiled into the AGEQA™ Farm Portfolio each AGEQA™ Index will fuse to each other to create the most synergetic co-relation to accomplish the policy goals and business objectives in the multitudes of ways and means that may best fit to the circumstances and resources of each individual stakeholder and participant in your business. The key to success is the intelligence to formulate the most appropriate mix of AGEQA™ Indices tailored to your goals and objectives.

    The AGEQA™ Farm Portfolio allows Ag Resource Strategies, LLC to design, implement, assess and evaluate such governance model tailored to accomplish your specific policy goals and business objectives. Within the AGEQA™ Farm Portfolio system lays the traditional conservation delivery system.

    Compile the list of stakeholders within the particular geographical area that have common objectives related to producing an outcome. This task would define the watershed, cellulosic shed or other geographical area that is related to the client’s objectives. For example, if the issue is for a watershed TMDL then the watershed district, state or federal agency associated with the plan or regulation would define the goals and stakeholders within that area. If the issue is related to a “sustainability” level that is desired by a processor or industry, then the land area that supplies the food, feed, fuel or fiber stocks would be the defined area.

    • Identification of quantifiable benchmark and outcomes and the means to assess the resources related to those outcomes.
    • Develop a singular resource template as the data base for the Farm Portfolio to address the needs of conservation and regulatory agencies at local, state and federal levels, non-profits and private sectors.
