An AEM Farm Assessment can help you:

• Document your environmental practices and the benefits your farm provides to your community.  

      • Assess vulnerable areas of the farm that may present environmental problems.                                       
                
            • Identify practices that might cause regulatory action or neighbor complaints to prevent hassles and fines.

• Determine if your water supply or neighboring wells are at risk of contamination.                          
            
• Acquire information for long-term business planning and better positioning in the marketplace.     

• Consider conservation practices that could save you money when implemented.                             
                
     • Qualify for state and federal cost-share grants to address environmental issues.                                      
                      
• Earn “green” payments or participate in farmland protection programs.
