GIS Mapping/Weather Analysis

Using site-specific GIS (Geographic Information System), we collect a wide range of data in your fields – looking at key variables that go into crop production and factors that affect yields, such as field uniformity. This data, combined with on-the-ground soil and tissue sampling, gives us a full picture including differences in field elevations, nutrient levels, soil types and more. After analyzing the data and other inputs, we develop actionable recommendations for the ideal choice of seeds, fertilizers, crop protectants and soil amendments for better yields, with maximum cost-effectiveness.

Weather Stations

Our exclusive weather stations, located in Red Springs and Lumberton, allow us to collect daily real-time data. We analyze 21 components to understand how weather impacts crop yields, and we use our weather reports to take the right actions at the right times during the growing season. Weather analysis helps us with planting forecasts, irrigation scheduling and more.
