  2. Advanced Crop Management • Established in 1996 • Main focus was soil sampling for variable rate fertilizer application • GPS services have grown with the business for soil sampling, crop scouting, and precision ag solutions • Nutrient Management Plans for livestock producers

  3. Advanced Crop Management • Agricultural Services • Crop Consulting • Nutrient Management Plans • Soil Sampling • Precision Ag Sales & Installation- Ag Leader

  4. Advanced Crop Management • Crop Consulting • Crop Planning • Seed, Herbicide, Fertilizer, Fungicide, Insecticide • Crop Scouting • Crop staging, weeds, insects, disease, nutrient deficiency, soil nitrate test, yield estimates

  5. Nutrient Management Plans • Develop and maintain NMP’s for new and existing livestock operations • Collecting manure samples for NMP records and analysis for application rates • Soil samples are taken to determine soil fertility levels

  6. Advanced Crop Management • Soil Sampling • Grid – 2.5, 4.4, 10 ac • Management Zone – Soil Type • Use GPS and field mapping software in-field • Ag Leader GPS • HGIS Mapping Software • Desktop Software • Ag Leader SMS Software • SST Software • SGIS Software

  7. Field Boundaries • Exterior of field is driven while GPS marks out the boundary. • This is drawn prior to taking soil samples. • Waterways, terraces, ponds, etc. are marked out as well.

  8. Grid Size and Sample Points • Once the boundary is drawn, grid squares are created based on grid size and boundary shape. • Points are then drawn within the grid areas. • This is where the sample will be taken.

  9. Soil Sample Results

  10. Flat Rate vs. VRT Application

  11. Flat Rate vs. VRT Application • MAP (Mono-ammonium phosphate) • $730.00 per ton • Flat Rate Total Amount Applied • 11.6 tons x $730.00/ton = $8,468.00 • $8,468 / 149.1ac = $56.80 per acre for MAP Flat Rate • VRT Total Amount Applied • 4.2 tons x $730.00/ton = $3,066.00 • $3,066 / 149.1 = $20.56 per acre for MAP VRT

  12. Flat Rate vs. VRT Application

  13. Flat Rate vs. VRT Application • Potash • $600.00 per ton • Flat Rate Total Amount Applied • 15.0 tons x $600/ton = $9000.00 • $9000 / 149.1ac = $60.40 per acre for Potash Flat Rate • VRT Potash • 12.0 tons x $600/ton = $7200.00 • $7200 / 149.1ac = $48.30 per acre for Potash VRT

  14. Advanced Crop Management • Precision Ag Sales & Installation • Ag Leader Products • SeedCommand – Planters, drills, air seeders • DirectCommand – Sprayers, spinner spreaders, strip-till • GPS/Guidance – Assisted steering, hydraulic steering • Harvest – Yield monitoring on combines • Selling • Installing • Supporting

  15. Advanced Crop Management • Benefits of Precision Ag • More efficient use of agricultural inputs • Seed – Row Shutoffs • Fertilizer • Chemicals – Sprayer Boom Section Shutoffs • Allows operator to concentrate more on task at hand; Reduces operator fatigue • End Result= Precision products gives the producer priceless data to continue to make profitable decisions for their operation
