Agronomy

Our philosophy on the soil is that a healthy soil provides for a healthy plant which provides for healthy people or animals. A healthy soil is achieved when biological, physical, and chemical properties are optimum and in proper balance. A healthy soil is the foundation of all successful cropping programs and it is why soil balance is our expertise and is where we start our program from.

All of our soil samples are sent to Brookside Laboratories in Ohio an independent lab. Every sample is tested not just for Ph, P, and K; but also for all major secondary and micro nutrients. Whether we make recommendations for large cash crops or smaller fields we start from the same foundation.
