RISK MITIGATION & SAFETY

Risk Mitigation and Safety are critical, multi-layered ideals that go hand-in-hand and play an important role in the success of your farm.

RISK MITIGATION & SAFETY

Risk Mitigation and Safety are critical, multi-layered ideals that go hand-in-hand and play an important role in the success of your farm.

Employee Safety

The health of your team is as important as the health of your crops. An extra set of experienced eyes can make all the difference in preventing work-related accidents.

Chemical Free IPM

Predator Insects; like ladybugs and green lacewing larvae are likely already working for you. Our process is to augment and/or rebuild those populations through a specific chemical-free IPM program, tailored to your farm. It’s a holistic approach to sustainable agriculture that focuses on managing insect populations to improve crop health and yield.

Are LED fixtures safer than HID?

That’s sort of a loaded question, but in general, yes. A well-designed LED is much safer than traditional HID lighting. LEDs will never explode the way a High Pressure Sodium or Metal Halide bulb can. Also, a well-designed LED will have an IP Rating.

“An IP (Ingress Protection) Rating is an internationally recognized standard used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against intrusion from foreign bodies (tools, dirt, etc,) and moisture.”
An LED fixture with an IP rating of IP66, IP67, or IP68 will ensure the entire LED fixture is protected against powerful water jets or immersion. This is a significant advantage over an LED fixture with a partial IP rating (driver is IP-rated but not the LED themselves) in terms of safety for your farm and the integrity of the fixture. Implementing an IP-66 (or higher) rated, UL/CUL/DLC Listed LED fixture will improve overall safety on every farm.

LED fixtures are maintenance-free (require no bulb changes) for their lifetime. Eliminating a hazardous ladder-task for your employees, forever. Contact Us to learn more about how LED lighting solutions can improve the safety conditions of your farm.

Genetics

As new farmers join an always changing industry and multi-generational farms shift to emerging marketplace crops, the quality of their plant and/or seed stock will be as important as the health of their soil. Being in close contact with leading agricultural universities has given 3 Agriculture access to some of the most active and successful plant geneticists within the industry.

We know what to look for in terms of certified seed stock or proven starts. We then pass that value onto you. Contact Us to learn more.

Risk Assessment

Creating effective procedures to mitigate risk is all in the planning, and what you see. Assessing your potential risk factors can be completed within a short tour of your farm.
