A common trend with a variety of agricultural practices is the use of large quantities of water. Whether in use to wash produce, contain animal waste, or for irrigation purposes, this resource needs to be managed correctly for the sustainability of the operation. Odour related issues with mismanaged water can also be a plague to nearby communities and a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) nightmare. Cypher has some unique alternatives for better water management, helping to conserve this invaluable natural resource, and minimize any negative impact on surrounding communities. Our road solutions are also designed to have no impact on the environment, and are therefore safe for use in and around environmentally sensitive agricultural properties of any kind.

Studies have suggested that a car driving down one mile of road, once a day for one year, can lead to one ton of dust being deposited 500 feet on either side of the road median. This dust can coat the leaves of agricultural crops, leading to a reduction in photosynthesis and reduced crop yields, lending to the need for an effective dust suppressant. Traditional chloride based road dust suppressants can be quite corrosive, and have actually been labeled as toxic, as per section 64 of the 1999 CEPA (Canadian Environmental Protection Act). Therefore they can be quite harmful to roadside vegetation. Dust Stop® Municipal Blend was designed as a non-corrosive and environmentally friendly alternative to chlorides for road dust control, while being very competitively priced, having no negative impact on surrounding crops whatsoever.

Substantial road networks intersect the vast agricultural fields where the crops and livestock critical to our survival are raised. The majority of these roads are unpaved, meaning their proper management is critical in getting all the valuable agricultural products to market as efficiently as possible. Our soil stabilization and road dust control solutions are designed to support more sustainable management of these road networks to allow for not only higher performance roads in all weather, but all while having substantially less impact on surrounding livestock and crops due to the reduced dust emissions after roads have been treated. Since this network of roads is so substantial around the world, it gives us a rare opportunity to introduce new sustainable best practices that will make an impact in the communities that house agricultural operations and will allow these projects to focus on CSR initiatives through their work with Cypher.
