Custom Soil Fertility Programs & Agronomy Consulting
Established in 1984, our company pioneered a proprietary soil fertility program that has consistently delivered superior results for over three decades. Our founder, Kent Durbin, leveraged extensive research and field testing to develop a science-based approach that optimizes crop yield while maintaining environmental responsibility. Our team of qualified agronomists provides tailored soil fertility recommendations, GPS soil sampling, and expert fertilizer advice grounded in 18 years of validated research data. We prioritize economic efficiency by customizing programs to individual crop needs, soil conditions, and budget constraints while maintaining strict environmental standards.Our unique methodology focuses on precise P:K ratios and micronutrient application to create optimal growing conditions. Through both contract fertilizer dealers and direct grower partnerships, we deliver proven solutions that outperform conventional methods 88% of the time. Our proprietary calculations, protected by copyright, ensure exclusive access to our advanced soil balancing techniques. We maintain a dedicated research farm to continually validate and refine our recommendations, providing clients with reliable, data-driven agronomy consulting services that maximize return on fertilizer investment.

Services
Soil Sampling
Our GPS-guided soil sampling services utilize variable grid sizes (2.5-15+ acres) to create detailed nutrient maps. This precision approach identifies field-specific deficiencies and enables targeted fertilizer application. Our methodology ensures accurate data collection for developing customized fertility programs that maximize yield potential.
Custom Recommendations
Based on soil test results, we develop proprietary fertility recommendations using patented calculations that optimize P:K ratios and micronutrient balances. These customized plans consider crop type, soil conditions, and economic factors to deliver maximum return on investment while maintaining environmental sustainability.
Agronomy Consulting
Our qualified agronomists provide expert guidance on nutrient management strategies, fertilizer application timing, and yield optimization techniques. We offer both in-field consultations and ongoing support to ensure proper implementation of our soil fertility programs across various agricultural operations.
GPS Soil Mapping
We create detailed digital soil maps using GPS technology to visualize nutrient variability across fields. These maps enable variable rate fertilizer application, improving efficiency by targeting specific areas with precise nutrient requirements based on our proprietary balancing calculations.
Product Research
Our research services provide agricultural product companies with reliable data on fertilizer effectiveness and soil amendment performance. We conduct field trials and analyze results to support product development and validate claims through our 35-year history of scientific soil fertility studies.
