SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — FarmTogether, the technology-powered, online marketplace providing…

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — FarmTogether, the technology-powered, online marketplace providing investors with direct access to farmland ownership, today announced that it has committed 100% of its acres to certify to the Leading Harvest Farmland Management Standard, the first scalable, industry-wide standard paving the way for universal sustainable farmland management. FarmTogether’s commitment to Leading Harvest advances its efforts to prioritize long-term stewardship for both its investors and future generations.

Leading Harvest’s standard certification program provides the framework for simple and widespread adoption of sustainable farmland management through a set of meaningful, certifiable, and measurable stewardship results. The outcomes-based program, which can be applied across all crops and geographies, covers Thirteen Objectives spanning the environmental, social, and economic issues facing Earth today–ranging from soil health, energy use, air quality, water management, and fair labor, to reducing impacts on climate change. Each Objective consists of Performance Measures and Indicators that provide specific guidance for reporting and compliance, certified through a rigorous, third-party auditing process. 

«FarmTogether recognizes the enormous potential of sustainable farmland management practices. After years of careful consideration, research, and broad stakeholder engagement, Leading Harvest has created a standard that encapsulates the breadth and depth of measurable sustainable farmland management practices,» said David Chan, COO of FarmTogether. «We are excited to partner with a thought leader like Leading Harvest to advance the adoption of sustainable agriculture.»

With the global population expected to hit an all-time peak of 9.7 billion by 2050, farmers are experiencing stark increases in the demand for food. With limited arable land and the progression of climate change threatening the traditional supply of natural resources, the challenge to feed a growing population is exacerbated. However, research shows that through effective farmland management and by utilizing sustainable approaches and regenerative farming, farm operations could double or triple their yields without clearing additional acreage.

FarmTogether embraces sustainable farmland management and making long-term, positive changes to the planet and future communities. By directly investing in farmland with FarmTogether, investors are funding innovative and sustainable farming practices and driving real solutions to climate change while earning strong returns in the process.

«Leading Harvest provides programs that offer a more rational, credible, and scalable approach to sustainability assurance and verification. We are thrilled to partner with organizations, like FarmTogether, that are at the leading edge of agricultural sustainability and represent new models for the future of the industry,» said Kenny Fahey, Executive Director of Leading Harvest. «FarmTogether’s commitment to technology-enabled investing that creates financial returns through sustainable management demonstrates that economic, social, and environmental outcomes go hand-in-hand.»

Grist Mill Bridge Open to Traffic with AIT Bridges Composite Beams

BREWER, Maine, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — AIT Bridges, a division of Advanced Infrastructure Technologies (AIT), a designer and supplier of composite bridge systems and structural components, announced that, in conjunction with The Maine Department of Transportation, after the December 31st…

BREWER, Maine, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — AIT Bridges, a division of Advanced Infrastructure Technologies (AIT), a designer and supplier of composite bridge systems and structural components, announced that, in conjunction with The Maine Department of Transportation, after the December 31st load testing, the replacement of the Grist Mill Bridge has opened to traffic, located on Route 1A , in Hampden Maine.

The former span was constructed in 1950 and was comprised of three bridges built one on top of the another. It has been replaced with a new span consisting of five composite beams manufactured at AIT Bridge’s Brewer, Maine facility. The technology was developed in cooperation with The University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center.

The Grist Mill Bridge spans over the Souadabscook Stream which is an environmentally sensitive tributary of the Penobscot River. This bridge replacement is part of a project that includes reconstruction and paving work on an almost two-mile-long stretch of Route 1A. The total cost for the project is approximately $8.9 million.

AIT Bridges’ composite bridge systems are designed to last over 100 years, at least 30 years longer than the average steel bridge. Additionally, because its bridge systems use composites instead of steel, they need little to zero maintenance over their lifecycle. The use of sustainable, environmentally friendly (low carbon footprint) materials results in a low impact solution to the aging bridges in the U.S.

AIT Bridges would like to thank the Maine businesses and agencies that helped make this historic project possible: MaineDOT, UMaine’s Advanced Structures and Composite Center, T Buck Construction, Dashiell Transportation, TY Lin International (Falmouth, Maine Office), Calderwood Engineering, Composites One LLC (Rockland, Maine Distributor), TexTech Industries, Portland Bolt, N.S. Giles Foundation, Inc., Lee’s Concrete, Owen J. Folsom, Inc., and Hammond Lumber.

«We’re so pleased to have lent our engineering expertise to the replacement of the Grist Mill Bridge in Hampden,» said Ken Sweeney, President and Chief Engineer, AIT Bridges. «We wanted to ensure that the construction that took place in 2020 would be long lasting and resilient. By using materials made in Maine by Maine craftspeople, this bridge will stand the test of time.»

Today, AIT Bridges offers the composite arch bridge system and composite beams; two building blocks capable of replacing most bridges across the country. For more information about AIT Bridges, please visit: https://www.aitbridges.com

Summa Silver Provides Annual Update Letter from CEO

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Summa Silver Corp. («Summa Silver» or the «Company») (CSE: SSVR) (OTCQB: SSVRF) (Frankfurt: 48X) is pleased to provide the following letter to all shareholders from the CEO.

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Summa Silver Corp. («Summa Silver» or the «Company») (CSE: SSVR) (OTCQB: SSVRF) (Frankfurt: 48X) is pleased to provide the following letter to all shareholders from the CEO.

Dear Shareholders and Investors,

This past year marked a strong debut year for Summa Silver. After listing in February, the Company quickly optioned two high-quality silver and gold exploration properties in under-appreciated historic mining districts in the United States and raised $13M in two private placements.

Our highest priority is to create shareholder value through systematic exploration of our two highly prospective silver and gold projects.

Highlights from 2020

Aggressive drilling at the Hughes Property in Nevada was the central focus of our exploration strategy in 2020. Originally budgeted for 7,500 m of drilling in 15 holes, our first ever drill program was expanded and ultimately consisted of 14,460 m of drilling in 29 holes.

Key takeaways from the 2020 Hughes drill program include:

  • High-grade silver and gold mineralization was discovered in four target areas across a 3.5 km trend.
  • The area around the historic Belmont Mine hosts numerous well mineralized and unmined veins.
  • The Ruby discovery may represent a 1.3 km extension of the Tonopah district to the east
  • The Murray area hosts broad zones of mineralization that likely cross the property boundary to the west onto Blackrock Gold Corp’s Tonopah West Property.
  • Assays for 14 holes remain pending, all of which intersected quartz veins and breccias.

In addition to the Hughes Property, the Company also optioned a large portion of the historic Mogollon mining district near Silver City, New Mexico. Undrilled since the 1980’s, historical drill results outline a target area at the old Consolidated Mine. The target spans 500 x 200 m where 8 historic drill holes are reported to have averaged 497 g/t silver equivalent over average drilled lengths of 13.3 m. Taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, this Consolidated Mine target represents approximately 0.6 km of the 34 km of cumulative structure/vein length on the property. Putting those numbers into context, the Consolidated Mine target represents less than 2% of the prospective target horizons on the property.

Outlook for 2021

It is very clear to us at Summa Silver that both the Hughes and Mogollon properties warrant significant drill programs in 2021 as we drive towards mineral resource estimates at both projects. With that in mind, we are planning a two-faceted approach to unlock value for shareholders in 2021.

  1. At the Hughes property, follow up drilling at all four of the original target areas is required and we will systematically drill step out holes around areas of known mineralization. We are also planning a geological mapping and sampling program covering the large, but under-documented zones of hydrothermal alteration on the northern and eastern portions of the property.
  2. At the Mogollon property, the Consolidated Mine target area clearly warrants a thorough mineral resource assessment via a pattern of grid drilling.  Permits for this drill program are expected in Q1. We are also planning boots-on-the-ground geological mapping and sampling program to gain a better understanding of the geologic controls on silver and gold mineralization.

Looking back to the beginning of 2020, Summa Silver was just an idea. I’m very grateful to our supportive shareholders who are integral to our success. I’m also very pleased with how far we’ve come in one short year and look forward to using our geological expertise to create further shareholder value in 2021.

At Summa Silver, we strive to communicate our corporate message with transparency and consistency with the public market community and we urge you to reach out to allow us to get to know our shareholders better.

Called «The Top 50,» the report lists the 50 Property Index Numbers (PINs) with the largest tax increases from 2000 to 2019 in Chicago and the suburbs, both residential and commercial. The report is a new chapter in «The Pappas Study,» an unprecedented study that shows the county’s tax bills virtually doubling over 20 years, an increase that is nearly triple the 36 percent rise in the cost of living index.

«If you don’t exercise your right to vote, then you have no right to complain about how property taxes have climbed since 2000,» Pappas said, noting the low percentage of the voting-age population that participates in elections.

«The Pappas Study» is dedicated to former Chicago Tribune editorial page editor John McCormick and former editor R. Bruce Dold for their tireless efforts to make Chicagoland a better place to live.

According to the Top 50, the residential properties with the largest property tax increases from 2000 to 2019 are:

  • In Chicago, a condominium on East Lake Shore Drive, where the tax bill jumped 1,890 percent, from $6,731.71 to $133,954.83
  • In the suburbs, a two-story residence on Ardsley Road in Winnetka, where the tax bill grew 1,174 percent, from $53,014.39 to $675,486.36

The commercial properties with the largest property tax increases from 2000 to 2019 are:

  • In Chicago, an office building at 300 E. Randolph St., where the tax bill rose 141 percent, from $8,140,176.71 to $19,599,942.28
  • In the suburbs, a shopping center at 1000 E. Woodfield Road, Schaumburg, where the tax bill rose 53 percent, from $12,847,013.47 to $19,633,920.16

«There is a solution to the problem of skyrocketing taxes,» Pappas said. «Vote!»

Less than 29 percent of the voting-age population in the Chicago has cast ballots in elections held since 2011, Pappas said. In the suburbs, the percentage is just 26 percent.

«Too many people are voting with their feet instead of at the ballot box,» Pappas said. «If you don’t hold elected officials accountable, then you only have yourself to blame,» she said.

20-year tax history search added to cookcountytreasurer.com

Every property owner can see how much their property taxes have grown over 20 years by visiting cookcountytreasurer.com. Just follow these steps:

  • Select the purple box labeled «Your Property Tax Overview»
  • Enter your address or Property Index Number (PIN)
  • Select the tab on the left that says «20-Year Tax Bill History»
  • See an interactive map that shows how property taxes billed have increased in Chicago wards and suburbs since 2001

The Top 50 report also breaks down the 50 largest residential and commercial property tax increases in each of Chicago’s wards.

The report analyzed the property tax bills for PINs which did not change property tax classifications from 2000 to 2019. For residential properties, the report analyzed properties with only a Homeowner’s Exemption and excluded properties with other property tax exemptions, such as the Senior Citizen Exemption, which affect the change in tax bills.
