Our Core Values

Three core values drive everything we do:
  • Quality. We possess deep experience that leads to high quality, defensible results. Public interest in these reports is usually quite high, with  no room for rookie mistakes. We know the pitfalls to avoid and we stand behind every single number.
  • Cost Effectiveness. We work faster and better than others because this is our specialty and we have a proven methodology. We are confident that no other firm can match our combination of quality and cost.
  • Client Focus. We offer analytical reports that fit clients' needs and budgets. For example, some clients may simply want a standard Crop Report PLUS, while others seek a longer, specialized study. We even help with press releases, Board of Supervisors briefings, and other services.
