Andjelic Land has completed land improvements so that our producers are able to more efficiently farm the land they rent from us. After these land improvements have been completed, our producers are able to use their equipment more efficiently, reducing the number of turns, the time required and the chemicals used. Our producers are now able to use new technology such as sectional control, an innovative way to eliminate overlaps and save time and input costs. Our land improvements can lead to a 40% – 80% increase in efficiency, these are actual efficiency increases given to us by some of our tenants. Efficiency increases will vary by the number of obstacles each quarter had prior to improvements.

We have heard feedback from our producers that farm on our land where land improvements have been completed, that areas that used to take equipment 9-10 hours are now only taking 4-5 hours. This time saving means less CO2 emissions by equipment. Further to this, CO2 emissions from machinery are higher when the machinery accelerates, on land that has not been improved, the producer is decelerating and accelerating to steer their large equipment around bushes, rock piles etc. After land improvements have been completed by Andjelic Land, the producer is able to keep a steady speed and not push the machinery to emit more C02 than necessary.

This reduction in time required for machinery to be operating by our producers is experienced 5-7 times a year (producers typically bring equipment on the land for heavy harrowing, seeding, spraying multiple times as required, swathing, and combining). This equates to machinery running from 45-63 hours to 20-28 hours, for the same area and reducing C02 emissions by half while the producer gains more acres and time.
