Three steps. One goal: put your fertility dollars where they actually return — and stop spending where they won't.
The one-time investment in zone mapping and verification is the foundation. Everything that comes after — the annual fertility program, the VRT maps, the yield tracking — builds on that foundation. You're not paying for a recurring service. You're investing in a permanent understanding of what your ground can do.
Start where you are. Standard and Verified are one-time investments in understanding your ground. Applied is the annual program that puts that knowledge to work every season.
Most farmers are over-applying fertilizer on parts of their field that will never return it. Standard shows you exactly where — before you spend another dollar doing it.
We map your field into zones based on how the soil actually behaves — not just what the soil test says. Every zone gets a ZoneIQ™ score. Every field gets a FieldIQ™ score. No field work required — everything built at the desktop from SSURGO data and high-resolution LiDAR terrain analysis.
Get StartedStandard shows you what should be happening. Verified confirms what actually is.
Verified is not a separate mapping product — it's a single upgrade to Standard. We conduct physical soil borings across your existing zones and collect actual physical properties from the ground. That data replaces the SSURGO-assumed properties — confirmed by boots and a probe, not a database.
Schedule a Field VisitApplied is where your zone map goes to work each season. Every year we help you decide where to invest — and where not to — so every fertilizer dollar has a reason to be there. Each year of data makes the next recommendation sharper. After a few seasons, you’re not guessing at all.
What’s included each year:
We don’t run soil fertility sampling in-house, but we can coordinate that process for you so the data flows into your program without gaps.
Start the ConversationA clean, printable zone map of your field showing management zones, zone boundaries, and acreage by zone. Also delivered as a GIS shapefile you can open in any mapping software.
Zone-by-zone capability scores with the factor breakdown — what's driving the score up or down in each zone. A written interpretation of what the boring data found and what it means for management.
Zone-specific P, K, and pH targets based on physical soil properties and current soil test results. Plain-English recommendations explaining why each zone gets what it gets.
A variable rate application shapefile your fertilizer dealer can load directly into their equipment. Compatible with John Deere Operations Center, Trimble, CNH AFS, and most retail variable rate spreaders. Includes total product order in lbs and tons.
A zone-based soil sampling plan with recommended retest frequency by zone — more often for zones in buildup mode, less often for zones at maintenance. Takes the guesswork out of when to resample.
Annual program clients have direct access to Kevin for questions throughout the season. As yield maps come in, we analyze them against zone capability scores to validate and refine the model.
Based in Fountain City, Wayne County. Primary service area covers the east-central Indiana glacial till plain — the same parent material, the same soil taxonomy, the same management challenges across east-central Indiana and west-central Ohio.
Virtual consulting available for operations outside the primary service area. Contact us to discuss.
A note on pricing: Standard and Verified are one-time capital investments in understanding your field. The zone map doesn't expire. The boring data doesn't change. You pay once to understand your ground — then Applied puts that knowledge to work every season. We don't run soil fertility sampling in-house, but we can coordinate that for you so the data flows into your program without gaps.
