Services

• Field Zone Mapping: Aerial imagery and spatial analysis to identify productivity zones and guide targeted management decisions across each field.
• Soil Sampling: GPS-referenced grid and zone soil sampling with our hydraulic probe rig, careful sample handling and lab coordination. Sampling depth and lab tests are set around the field and the question you're trying to answer. Recommendations and prescription files can be added when needed.
• Prescription Files (Rx): Variable-rate seeding, fertilizer and fungicide files where field variability, data quality and agronomic context support the approach. We review your goals, equipment and software first so we can confirm the right outputs for the job.
• Drone Crop Mapping: RGB and multispectral drone imagery to compare crop variability and guide scouting. Imagery can show where conditions differ; field checks and agronomic context are needed to determine why. Stand counts are available when the crop, growth stage, imagery quality and analytics are suitable.
• Crop Consulting: Agronomic consulting covering hybrid and variety selection, fertility program design, soil health, crop rotation strategies, and in-season recommendations.
• Data Analysis: Compare yield maps, soil tests and application records across field areas and seasons. We organize the available information and review patterns with you to support management decisions.
