Our Field Scouting Service is one of the most comprehensive services in the industry.

This allows us to follow up on recommendations, check for efficacy, and monitor your rapidly growing crop.

Ag Grow Consulting’s hands-on approach to variable rate allows you to use your precision equipment and technology with confidence and ease on your farm. Our team of local agronomists work with you throughout the year to ensure your maps and prescription recommendations line up with your farming goals. We use a combination of soil mapping with an EM38 and satellite imagery to generate management zones across the entire field. Once the map is built, we then soil test individual zones and analyze the data closely to create a custom prescription for your field. Our simple, but tailored approach will allow you to maximize nutrient placement and the overall profitability across your acres.
