PCM Expands in Nebraska with New Regions for Grain Farmers
Precision Conservation Management (PCM) is expanding its presence in Nebraska by adding two new regions. The program, which provides free one-on-one farm data analysis to grain producers, will now serve farmers in Northeast and Southeast Nebraska. PCM has been operating in the Gothenburg and York regions for several years through a partnership with the Nebraska Corn Board and local Natural Resource Districts.
The addition of Norfolk and Beatrice regions means more Nebraska producers have access to a local PCM specialist who can analyze field data and help farmers make decisions based on profitability, not guesswork. PCM uses field-level data to evaluate the financial outcomes of tillage, nitrogen management, and cover crop practices. Participating in PCM is free thanks to support from partners like the Nebraska Corn Board.
Enrolled farmers gain access to cost-share and incentive programs through PCM as well as advice on other programs they might be eligible for. Enrollers also receive an annual Resource Analysis and Assessment Plan (RAAP) report each February, providing a field-by-field breakdown of financial and environmental outcomes of in-field practices.
Meet the new specialists: Frank Lammers brings a background in agronomy and hands-on farm experience to his role as PCM's Conservation Specialist for the Norfolk region. Tyler Ottensmeier brings more than 11 years of agricultural financial services experience to his role as PCM's Conservation Specialist for the Beatrice region.
