New Support For Missouri Farmers Navigating Conservation And Profitability

(JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.)– Precision Conservation Management (PCM), in partnership with the Missouri Corn Merchandising Council (MCMC), is proud to announce expansion into north central Missouri. This development brings new opportunities for corn growers to improve profitability while adopting proven in-field conservation practices, enhancing soil health, and protecting water quality.

Farmers who enroll in PCM receive free technical assistance, personalized data analysis, and assistance navigating conservation incentive programs that reduce financial risks associated with conservation practice changes. With commodity prices under pressure, this data-driven support also helps farmers pinpoint which in-field practices are most profitable for their operation.

“Missouri Corn welcomes this opportunity to connect corn farmers with a program to further improve production practices,” says MCMC Chairman Brian Lehman. “Corn farmers consistently strive to provide an abundant supply of high-quality food, feed, and renewable energy. The expansion of PCM into Missouri will offer farmers field-level financial analysis of conservation practice adoption while creating a more environmentally and economically sustainable world for future generations.” 

To support producers in this region, PCM has hired a new conservation specialist, Landon Anderson, who will serve farmers across north central Missouri. Anderson brings a diverse background in agronomy, crop consulting, and agricultural development to the PCM team. After earning a degree in Agricultural Science from Truman State University and an M.S. in Agronomy from Iowa State University, he served farmers in several capacities before recently joining PCM.

“I’m excited to help Missouri farmers identify conservation practices that improve both their bottom line and the long-term health of their land,” said Anderson. “I view agronomy as a blend of science and real-world application, and I believe PCM’s unique data insights will make a real difference for farmers in this region.”

As pressure for more sustainable agriculture practices increases throughout the supply chain, PCM’s expansion ensures more farmers can take advantage of the data and conservation opportunities already available to them.
