ABOUT OUR PRAIRIE SOD
Because of South Dakota's native grasslands thick mat of roots, and its natural abilities to solve environmental problems, they have become a national treasure. In fact, because of their drought tolerance and temperature resilience, more than 100,000 prairie acres are now protected by the "National Grasslands". True prairie grass can take many decades to evolve into being the
most beneficial to our earth. Sometimes solutions just can’t wait that long and that’s where sod benefits become the better answer. Realizing the environmental value, and limited availability, our sod’s sustainability is key to our goal of restoring our natural treasures. We believe Prairie Grass Sod is some of the best virgin prairie grass sod available and continues to be sought after by ranchers, large corporations, and soil reclamation projects. EARTH'S ECOSYSTEM ANSWERS
Ecological systems imbalance can have drastic effects on our atmosphere, organisms, wildlife, and untimely humans. When ecosystems start to fail, it can be disastrous with flooding, erosion, soil/water contamination, air/carbon pollution, global warming, and wildlife reduction. We can rebound with nature’s original ecosystem from our prairie grasslands both above and below in the soil. Below, the massively strong roots can go down 6-12 feet encouraging infiltration of rainwater, reducing runoff, erosion, all while enhancing water quality and sequestering carbon at the rate of one square foot of prairie grass can store a 1/4 lb of carbon annually. Plants above the soil help with erosion, clean air pollutants, encourage healthy organisms, provides food for wildlife, and even mitigates our temperatures. Prairie Grass Sod is drought tolerant, grazing resilient, and tough enough to survive -40º to 100º above temperatures. The best part is, many of the sod’s benefits are almost immediate and thrives best when left alone. ENVIRONMENTAL and FINANCIAL BENEFITS
Environmental economics is a relational part of financial economics as it relates to environmental concerns. Businesses have gained interest in, and complying with, adding this aspect in their policies in-part because of the population’s realization of our environmental consequences. The study of costs vs benefits includes policies from our governments and agencies regarding water/air pollution, chemical toxicants, solid waste, and global warming. Of course, there are rules and fines connected to violations resulting in an economic impact on business. Our businesses must now consider policies such as Ecotax, Environmental Pricing Reform and Tariffs, Green New Deal, Net Metering, Sustainable Tourism, and more. There are more than just negative consequences for violations, there are also rewards for being proactive and compliant. There are substantial repercussions, both good and bad, that come from the consumers. Advertising “green” behaviors or actions affect the public’s opinion about that service or product.
