Tell us what good farming looks like.
Most ag programs hand you a fertility plan and call it done. We start the other way around; what's working on your operation, what isn't, where the yield drag is, and what your bottom-line needs. The plan comes after we understand the operation.
What We Listen For
We've heard it all.
If any of these goals sound like yours, we know what to do next. If your goal isn't here, tell us anyway. Chances are we've heard it before.

Four intake steps. No automatic billing. No pressure.
1
Questionnaire
Quick online intake. Operation scope, acreage, crops, what's been done before.
2
Intake Call
30 minutes by phone. We walk through your intake answers, talk through the operation, and figure out if a farm visit makes sense.
3
Farm Visit
Boots on the ground. We walk the fields with you, look at the operation, lock the sampling plan, and define what's being tested where.
4
Mileage Pay
Travel beyond our service radius is paid before the visit. Locked at the call, no surprises added on the invoice.
Mileage Pricing
Round-trip mileage measured from 77880 zip code. The per-mile rate decreases at longer distances as fixed lodging costs spread across the trip. Mileage is the only charge in Define. Everything else is on us. Virtual consults available for qualifying projects.

What Comes After
Once we know what you're trying to fix, we know what we'd test.
You move from Define into Diagnose. We pull samples from your property and run the lab analysis we designed specifically around what you told us in Define.
No generic test panels. No paying for data you don't need.
