Our Services
PEK Provides a Wide Range of Outreach and Education Services
Outreach and Education
At PEK Services, we believe in the power of knowledge and the importance of outreach. Our outreach services identify farmers who may not have access to or take advantage of NRCS programs. We speak at farm association events, visit farmers markets, and otherwise go where they are to educate them about conservation practices. We want all farmers to have the same opportunity to succeed in their agricultural operations.
Conservation Education
Our Conservation Education services provide farmers with the knowledge and resources they need to make sustainable decisions for their farms. We teach sustainable practices such as conservation tillage, low till - no till, cover cropping, water quality, urban agriculture and so much more. Through this service, we strive to empower farmers to become more efficient and environmentally conscious.
Educational Workshops
Our educational workshops provide farmers with the knowledge and skills needed for conservation practices. We host in-person workshops in various locations across the country and live workshops to ensure that farmers from all regions have access to up-to-date information on sustainable agriculture. Our knowledgeable staff provides farmers with valuable insight on how to implement conservation practices on their farms.
Conferences
PEK hosts regional and statewide conferences to give farmers the opportunity to learn about conservation practices, network with other farmers and learn about NRCS programs and services. Our conferences feature subject matter experts who present on various topics related to conservation, climate smart practices and other relevant topics. Attendees will gain valuable insight and knowledge to help them make informed decisions for their farms.
Technical Assistance
PEK Agriculture Outreach and Education provides technical assistance to farmers, which helps them improve their land and connect with available resources from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Our services include comprehensive advice and guidance to ensure that farmers understand the process and are able to access programs and initiatives that are available to them.
Careers in Agriculture
PEK Services provides engaging presentations to expose students to a wide array of careers in agriculture. Through these presentations, students can learn about the various opportunities available to them in the field, such as agronomy, animal science, and horticulture. PEK also introduces youth to the farming industry, teaching them about conservation practices and the importance of sustainable farming.
