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.
Site Specific Precision Soil Sampling in 5, 2 and 1 acre patterns
10–20% average yield increase on grains
8% average quality increase on grains
10% average yield increase on Canola
37 cwt ($302/acre) average return on potatoes over 10 years
Complete nutrient maps: OM, pH, P, K, Mg, Ca, CEC, EC, N, S — full macros and micros available
Variable rate fertilizer, lime, irrigation and seeding maps
Advanced Technology
Soil Optix® High-Resolution Mapping
Passive gamma radiation topsoil measurement — non-contact sensor giving us 335+ data points per acre.
Data Collection
Vehicle outfitted with RTK GPS traveling every 40 feet to survey the field.
Sampling
Samples are taken every 6-8 acres across the field based on the original survey data and what we see in the field.
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.
Results & Maps
Over 40 layers of soil properties and ratios are used to generate variable rate plans for the field.
What We Map & Measure
All Macros and Micros — pH, OM, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, NO3, EC
Clay %, Sand % — full soil texture mapping
