Introduction
JMLord, Inc. was formed in 1976 by Joe Lord to provide complete agronomic,
engineering, and environmental consulting services. JMLord is a highly mobile and responsive firm of
engineers and scientists with expertise in civil, hydrological and
agricultural engineering, practical agronomy, soil and plant science, computer
science and management. The
multi-disciplined personnel form a team which provides professional
services tailor-made for nearly any agricultural project.
In addition to providing the professional
services of certified crop advisors (CCAs), agronomist, pest control
advisors (PCAs) and professional engineers (PEs), JML also operates a
complete agronomic laboratory.
Samples tested include complete soil, water, plant materials, manure and
waste water testing. The work output
of this laboratory is one of the fastest growing areas of JMLord, Inc. The laboratory is used not only by our
staff of scientists, but other consultants and farm managers.
JMLord offers detailed services for investigation of agricultural,
hydrological and engineering projects, providing development plans and
supervising construction and contract performance.
JMLord provides professional services which include: water
management and conjunctive use studies; irrigation and drainage system
design; climate, soil and crop surveys; land reclamation and crop
development plans. The scientists
and engineers at JMLord have been working intensively with water management
and production agriculture in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Oregon
for twenty years.
JMLord is extremely responsive due to our extensive use of
computers and custom software. One
of these, is a highly flexible computer model which JMLord developed to
schedule irrigations on variable soils in diverse cropping situations. This computer program has proven itself
on numerous occasions to be a highly effective production improvement tool,
as well as one that conserves water and energy through irrigation
management.
JMLord differs from many organizations in that our expertise stems
not only from theoretical knowledge, but also from the practical
application and on-site management of production and engineering
situations.
