For farmers
Caring for the land is core business for us
And so is caring about the people connected with the land. We want to bring a new business to marginal low rainfall farmland in Australia in an inclusive and respectful way. See following an open letter from our CEO.
An open letter from our CEO to landowners in the eastern WA wheatbelt
Dear Landowner,
InterEarth is looking to help address the ever-increasing agricultural production challenges of marginal low rainfall farmland in Australia. We have a whole new production system that can transform agronomically and economically stressed farmland. We are seeking interact with existing landowners in two ways. First, purchase land from farmers who understand the increasing risks of low rainfall cereal production. And second, source biomass from farmers who have planted trees on previously cleared land but have not had the commercial return they may have wished from these trees.
Where we source biomass from planted trees on your property we will harvest the above ground biomass from these trees, dry that biomass and then store it in purpose-built chambers constructed on land unfit for any other purpose, such as land affected by salt. Deal is that we will sell carbon dioxide removal certificates into the international market and pay you for the biomass and our storage site. This can be a recurrent source of revenue for you. Your trees will regrow, and we will be able to harvest again every couple of years, that is if your trees coppice and most trees that have been planted by farmers do. Alternatively, if you want to remove your trees, and while we would prefer you didn’t, we will however work with you to find a way to maximise carbon capture (and payments for biomass to you). It is of course imperative that any trees we are harvest are no incumbered in any way, such as having carbon certificates of any form attached to them.
We are also interested in buying land outright to be able to produce our own biomass. We would also like farmers and their families stay, in the home you currently occupy if that works for you. The InterEarth production system is a form of farming, harvesting biomass for long-term storage of the contained carbon. We need locals with innovative farming know-how, and a can-do attitude. If you wish to stay on, you may like to work for InterEarth and help start a whole new industry with new careers for you and your family.
My personal guarantee to you is that InterEarth will be straightforward in all our dealings with you. If your land fits our needs and you want to sell, we will negotiate a fair market price for your land. If want to sell us biomass from trees planted on your property, we will work with you to make that worthwhile as well.
We are in this business for the very long haul, but we are at the very beginning of the journey. If you do business with InterEarth, we want you to be satisfied that we have delivered on our promises. We would be delighted if you were to help with the promotion of InterEarth to other farmers and stakeholders. Ideally your decision to team up with us (in whatever way works for you) should be among the best business decisions you and your family has ever made.
If you would like to learn more about any aspect of InterEarth please send me your details via the button below and I will give you a call or come to visit you personally.
Also let us know if you would like to talk to Glenn Solomon, a fellow farmer near Perenjori with whom we are currently working. Glenn knows us well and we can arrange a one-on-one chat that fits with both your schedules.
My family have been farming in the northern wheatbelt for many generations. I worked on the farm, and later in the agricultural services and resources industry. I love the wheatbelt and have a genuine desire to see our small country towns reinvigorated through agronomic and economic diversification. I know the InterEarth system is a real, sustainable and technically viable option to help achieve this goal.
I look forward to discussing InterEarth with you and exploring opportunities for us to work together.
Yours sincerely,
Howard Carr
CEO
Why we exist
The benefits of InterEarth for farmers
A fair deal
InterEarth will be straightforward in all its dealings, including those with farmers. We will agree to a fair price for land that meets our requirements. We will work cooperatively with farmers looking to sell biomass from planted trees. The primary contact for farmers with InterEarth will be directly with our CEO.
An opportunity to sell biomass
Land for equity option
Farmers who see InterEarth as an exciting opportunity can become investors via a land for equity swap. We will do this at a premium to the price we agree for the straight purchase of land. We are also open to this swap covering all or part of our land purchase.
We want famers to stay around
We want people to stay in the area. Farmers will have the option to stay in their homes on any property we buy. It would be even better if farmers also join our team. InterEarth will provide a wide range of employment and career opportunities for locals.
Positive for your local communities
Impact
InterEarth might become important in humanity’s eventual success in addressing climate change. Farmers can be assured that their land and/or their biomass will be playing a role in tackling our greatest ever challenge. At the very least we will be trying our best to do so.
