DELIVERING IN THE FIELD

We move a lot of fertilizer each year – roughly 1,800 railcars full. Much of this amount is delivered to the farm, and Country Partners also applies a large amount for our farmer customers.

Our application equipment is equipped with the latest technology to ensure accuracy or to utilize variable-rate technology prescriptions.

We also utilize drones to handle some in-season application needs. Drones are especially useful for applications on small fields, for spot spraying and for timely/urgent acres when a ground rig is not an option.

DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS

Look to our precision ag team to realize the full potential of your ground and inputs. We’ll help capture data and measure results. With that data comes knowledge we use to adjust management decisions in an educated manner to make a difference for your operation.

By managing differently across each field, you gain the potential to reduce input costs, raise productivity and continually improve. Each year, we essentially generate a “report card” for how the agronomic plan worked, which allows us to fine tune recommendations and maximize ROI.

PRECISION SERVICES

VARIABLE-RATE TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

We create application prescriptions to apply the optimal amount of inputs where they’ll do the most good on a field.

YIELD DATA CLEANING AND ANALYSIS

We take raw data and scrub it to remove anomalies and fix problems. It takes accurate data to ensure accurate recommendations.

DATA MAPPING, LAYERING

Utilizing software, we can layer data, such as yields, soil maps, fertility maps, pH, etc. We can then review years of data to see what’s consistently working and what still needs adjusting.

SOIL SAMPLING

The techniques we utilize are grid, zone and composite sampling. We create maps based on this information to get a clear picture of what’s going on in and under the soil across a field.

SOIL EC DATA COLLECTION

Measures the contrasting properties of the soil texture. With this information, zones created are more exact than through grid sampling. Soil texture in a field does not change in the span of a lifetime so this data only needs collecting once and the zones can be sampled to keep track of nutrient levels.

TARGETED SCOUTING

Look to us to troubleshoot fields on a limited basis or as often as weekly. This allows us to make mid-season adjustments to preserve yield or adjust our plan for next season.

IMAGERY

We utilize aerial imagery, including high resolution multi-spectral drones, to determine what’s going on with a growing crop. We assess crop health, and can then diagnose what’s affecting the crop, such as hail damage, application problems, etc.

PASS – GAUGING PRODUCT PERFORMANCE ON LOCAL FIELDS

Test Plot and PASS Services: Country Partners offers farmers standard test plot services to evaluate various products or practices within their existing farming methods. For an advanced approach, we introduce our PASS service. PASS (Precision Ag Smart Stripe) entails the creation of replicated test strips throughout the entire field, deliberately incorporating multiple underlying variables to precisely gauge the effects of the test product or practice.

If you’re interested in putting in a PASS plot, please talk to our agronomy team.
