99% certified wool. Only products containing 100% certified wool can be labeled with the RWS logo. The advantages are the protection of animal welfare, the preservation of the health of the land and the traceability of the supply chain.

Our 8 de Julio farm, located in the province of Santa Cruz, received the RWS certification in April 2022 on good practices in shearing.

Technological innovation

We know that investment in new technologies contributes not only to productive efficiency but also to the development of a sustainable and efficient activity in the use of resources. It is because of that:

·                                                                                                                                                              We strive to implement good agricultural practices such as crop rotation, direct seeding, integrated pest management.

·   We use inputs efficiently to ensure the maximum return with the minimum environmental impact. Using tools such as directed applications of agrochemicals as well as variable planting by adjusting the number of seeds and fertilizers.                                                                                                                                                                                                     
·   Through the flight of unmanned aircraft with remote sensors, we monitor crops and obtain vegetation indices for a better agronomic diagnosis.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
·   Using satellite images, soil maps and rainfall maps, we define the capacity for land use and carry out activities based on their suitability, whether for livestock or agriculture. Soil analyzes are carried out every year to assess their condition and if any correction is needed based on the crop to be planted. We are working with INTA to define an indicator that can help us monitor the state of our soils and their evolution.
·   Every year we increase the area of “cover crops”. With the aim of improving soil fertility and water quality, controlling weeds and pests, and increasing biodiversity in agroecological production systems (Lu et al, 2000). Reducing the use of fertilizers and phytosanitary products, making a more rational and efficient use of water, whether from rain or irrigation.

·     We also work on the integrated control of pests and weeds, carrying out constant monitoring and applications. In the case of weeds through the "WeedSeeker" technology, which applies phytosanitary products only where the weeds are found. In this way we reduce the unnecessary use of chemical products protecting the soil, water, flora, and local fauna.

·   A large part of the planting area is carried out using variable planting technology, determining the potential of each environment within each lot with the aim of improving the use of inputs and making an
