Joel’s Consulting Services

Engaging Joel for a day of consulting (multi-day discounts) is an investment in his experience and unorthodox creativity. To help pay for it, some folks offer a tag-along option for folks or an evening public event. Most folks just want the individual attention for a day or more. No one can be good at everything; here are Joel’s areas of expertise:

  1. Landscape design: access, infrastructure, fences, edges, riparian buffers.
  2. Water systems: access, distribution, capturing, utilization.
  3. Corrals and livestock handling infrastructure: design, placement, infrastructure.
  4. Brainstorming possibilities and opportunities: enterprises, margins, profit potential.
  5. Fertility enhancement: techniques, resources, carbon development, composting.
  6. Identifying weak links: breakthroughs and break withs; catalysis and inhibitors
  7. Team building: family relationships, collaboration agreements, non-employee labor.
  8. Succession planning: articulating expectations, agreeing on vision, roadmap to the future.
  9. Marketing: what, where, when, how, and to whom.
  10. Financials: margins, enterprise comparisons, time and motion, project value.
  11. Multi-species on pasture: symbiosis, infrastructure, logistics, protocols.
  12. Forestry: income potential, lumber, culling, management.

Ongoing benefits: All clients receive direct access to Joel for ongoing dialogue, within reason, in perpetuity, gratis.
