Planning for Biofuel and Biomass Projects--Jim helped develop the business plans of several biofuels companies since 2006.  He has conducted research in the field to verify the assumptions in the financial projections of these companies with respect to expected yields of feedstock and costs of production.  He is expert in selecting land in climate zones that is optimal for realizing the highest yields of biofuel or biomass plant species.

As such, Soilweb, Inc. can assist biofuel and biomass companies with:

• Review of business models, business plans and financial projections.
• Identification and selection of best land.
• Sourcing of best species and varieties of biofuel or biomass plants to grow.

Crop Production Operations-- If you are a primary producer of feedstock for biofuels or biomass, you are a farming company first and foremost.  The success of your business will depend upon the level of yields you achieve per acre or hectare, and the costs of production per ton of oil or biomass.  Use the services of a professional agronomist to get these right.

Soilweb, Inc. can assist your management with:

• Clearing and engineering of your land in the design of plantation blocks.
• Soil amending and preparation for planting.
• Planting and establishment of strong growth of biofuel or biomass plants.
• Tending and husbandry of plantation blocks to first harvest.
• Maintenance of plantation blocks with year-round cultural operations.
