§ Landowners

Your Land. Our Process. Public Data.

Pristine America is recruiting 10 to 15 private agricultural landowners for Phase 1. Participation is free. All results are published. Here is exactly what that means.

The Call for Parcels

We are looking for private farmers, ranchers, and landowners in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and New Mexico who:

  • §Own or control 5 to 20 acres of agricultural land
  • §Can document current soil degradation status (prior test results helpful but not required — we baseline everything)
  • §Are willing to allow Pristine America to apply its proprietary process to the designated parcel
  • §Are willing to allow pre- and post-application soil sampling by independent certified labs
  • §Will not make significant changes to parcel management (irrigation, fertilization, tillage) during the trial period

Phase 1 participation is free to landowners. We cover all lab costs, sampling costs, and process application costs. You provide access and cooperation.

What We Ask of You

  • §Access: Allow our team access to the designated parcel for application and sampling visits, on agreed dates
  • §Baseline cooperation: Participate in a brief pre-application interview documenting current land use, prior inputs, and management history
  • §Management stability: Hold management practices consistent during the trial period (no fertilizer additions, no major irrigation changes, no new cover crop establishment on the trial plot)
  • §Communication: Be available by phone or email to respond to field questions during the trial period
  • §Review: Read and sign the Parcel Access Agreement (available on request; see below)

We do not ask for your name to be published. Parcel results are published by parcel number unless you explicitly consent to named attribution.

What We Provide

  • §Baseline soil analysis: Full soil test panel conducted by independent certified lab, provided to you at no cost
  • §Post-application analysis: Same test panel at 4 to 6 months post-application, provided to you at no cost
  • §Your data: You receive your parcel's full lab results as soon as they are available, before they are published
  • §Application at no cost: Our process is applied to your parcel at no charge during Phase 1
  • §Transparency: Access to all published reports, research updates, and university partner commentary for the life of the program

What We Publish

We publish parcel-level results by parcel number. We publish:

  • §Baseline and post-application soil test results
  • §Percentage changes in each measured indicator
  • §Lab commentary and methodology notes
  • §University research partner analysis
  • §Organizational interpretation (clearly labeled)
  • §Limitations and confidence statements

We do not publish your name, your address, or your parcel's location without your explicit written consent.

If the results on your parcel are neutral or negative, we publish them. You will know this before you sign, because this page tells you so.

The Parcel Access Agreement

The Parcel Access Agreement governs the relationship between Pristine America and participating landowners. It covers:

  • §Scope of access (what areas, for what purposes, on what schedule)
  • §Management commitments during the trial period
  • §Data ownership (you retain ownership of your land data; we retain rights to publish aggregated and parcel-numbered results)
  • §Publication consent terms
  • §Early termination rights (you can withdraw at any time before application; after application, we ask that sampling proceed)
  • §Process specifications (confirms: no chemicals, no synthetic inputs, no soil amendments beyond the water application itself)

The Parcel Access Agreement is available on request. Email landowners@pristineamerica.org with subject line "PAA Request" and we will send it within one business day.

Who Is Eligible

Phase 1 is limited to private landowners and family agricultural operations. Corporate-owned agricultural land, publicly owned land, land managed under active lease dispute, and land with pending regulatory actions are not eligible for Phase 1.

Priority consideration is given to:

  • §Documented degradation: land with confirmed organic matter loss, yield decline, or water stress
  • §Geographic distribution: we are building a cohort that represents the TX/OK/KS/NE/NM corridor as broadly as possible
  • §Willingness to cooperate with full protocol: landowners who read the PAA, understand what they are agreeing to, and are comfortable with public result publication

A Note on Expectations

We are not promising that this process will restore your land. We are testing whether it might. If Phase 1 results are positive, you will have that data. If they are not, you will have that data too — along with a free baseline soil analysis that most landowners find useful regardless of our results.

The question we are asking is an honest one. We think it deserves honest participants. If that describes you, we want to hear from you.

Phase 1 is not a guarantee. It is a rigorous open question — and your land could be part of the answer.
