About Us

Profitable agronomy for your fields

Crop Care Consulting is an independent crop consulting company. We provide a long-term plan of intensive soil and plant testing, regular field inspections, and yearly plot work to better understand how to help your crop reach full potential.

We aim to help you achieve a healthy, vigorous crop resulting in higher yields, quality and profitability. It's not about offering a one-shot, quick fix solution — it's about building knowledge of your land year after year.

What We Do

Services at a Glance

From soil to harvest, we provide comprehensive crop management to help you make the best decisions for every acre.

Crop Scouting

Regular field checks every 7–14 days monitoring weeds, insects, diseases, nutrients and general crop health.

Tissue Sampling

Petiole and tissue tests to monitor in-season nutrient uptake and guide fertigation decisions.

Soil Sampling

Composite, grid, and site-specific precision soil sampling to map field nutrient variability.

Grid Sampling

Structured grid patterns at 5, 2, and 1 acre intervals for precise nutrient mapping.

Soil Optix®

High-resolution topsoil mapping using passive gamma radiation — 350+ data points per acre.

Fertility Planning

Variable rate fertilizer recommendations, liming plans, and nutrient management programs.

Pest & Disease Mgmt

In-crop weed, disease, and insect scouting with targeted pesticide recommendations.

4R Certified

Right source, right rate, right time, right place — responsible nutrient stewardship.

Record Keeping

Complete digital record keeping with results available via web and mobile apps.

AgTrakPro

Our own app for tracking soils, tissues, and records — all your field data in one place, accessible anywhere.

Precision Agriculture

Site Specific Precision Sampling

We sample the field based on what the field tells us — not a computer-generated pattern. The maps generated from this data let you make better management decisions to enhance production and correct problem areas.

Advanced Technology

Soil Optix® High-Resolution Mapping

Passive gamma radiation topsoil measurement — non-contact sensor giving us 335+ data points per acre.

01

Data Collection

Vehicle outfitted with RTK GPS traveling every 40 feet to survey the field.

02

Sampling

Samples are taken every 6-8 acres across the field based on the original survey data and what we see in the field.

03

The Magic

The soil data from the lab and the raw data from the field are put together by Soil Optix to create the layers.

04

Results & Maps

Over 40 layers of soil properties and ratios are used to generate variable rate plans for the field.
