Weeds can quickly evolve from a minor nuisance into a major scourge if ignored by farmers and ranchers; whereas proper pasture maintenance ultimately maximizes profits through efficient land management.
After earning a rangeland management degree in December 2015 from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, David Cummings founded his company, Back 40 Land Management, in February 2018. He had long-time personal knowledge of pasturelands and the unwanted vegetation that can creep in.
While at CSU, Cummings simultaneously worked for the Fort Collins Conservation District and Big Thompson Conservation District in Berthoud as a conservation field technician, assisting in area land restoration after the areas’ 2012 and 2013 fires and floods.
