Crop Consulting Services

Weekly Crop Scouting

Downs Ag is a full service consulting company. We provide scouting from plant emergence to desiccation. After each field check, we will then provide a detailed full crop report containing all the field names, growth stages, any insect and weed problems and other important information pertaining to the crop.

Insect Scouting

We are trained to scout for beneficial and harmful insects that may be present in your fields. If harmful insects reach threshold levels we will then make a unbiased recommendation for control.

Soil Sampling

Downs Ag offers soil sampling services for growers on a 2.5, 5, or 10 acre grid. We will take soil samples on your farm and provide you with a soil report book that consists of detailed variable rate recommendations, fertilizer maps, and soil results from the lab. We use the most advanced soil sampling Technology to give our growers the most precise soil fertility results.

Weed Scouting

We scout fields weekly and will identify weed problems that may be present. After fields are scouted, weed problems are then noted on a client’s Crop report. If treatment is required we will make a unbiased recommendation for treatment.

Variety Selection

Downs Ag works with growers in the fall and early spring to help determine the best variety placement on every field on their farm. When determining crop varieties for your farm we look at 4 key things: Adaptability, Yield Potential, Disease Resistance and Maturity.

Chemical Recommendations

If any weed, insect or disease problems are found in a grower’s field, Downs Ag will then recommend the best products and rates for control. We do not sell any products so growers can rest assured that they are getting an unbiased chemical recommendation for their crop.
