It's time to farm smarter
AgCESS is Ag Partners' grower-focused brand designed to give growers access to the latest decision-making tools to create success through new innovations.
The name itself implies a couple of different meanings. Combining the words “ag” and “success” gives us the first layer of meaning: ag (or farming) success. But AgCESS also sounds a lot like another important word in farming today: access—access to data that helps all corn and soybean growers make better decisions.
Better decisions about what? Well, just about everything. By aggregating data from hundreds of growers in this region, our agronomists know which corn hybrids and soybean varieties perform best on what kinds of soils. They team up with area growers to see which tillage systems and fertilizer application practices offer the best return on investment. They know whether products like corn fungicides or soybean aphid control will pay for themselves in a normal year, because they have the research to prove it.
Seed Insights
Let’s face it: choosing the right seed for your operation is a lot more complicated than it used to be. Prices for corn hybrids with stacked traits have gone through the roof, and you may be paying for traits you don’t even need. It’s too much for most farmers to keep up with, but part of the job for our seed specialist and agronomy account managers.
We work with both national and local seed suppliers with access to the best genetics in the industry. We can help you choose which products are likely to work best under your specific growing conditions—including light or heavy soil, well-drained or gumbo, the likelihood of disease or insect pressure in a typical year, and so on. We’ll also pay close attention to the prices you pay…there’s no use spending $300 a bag on seed corn for land that isn’t likely to yield more than 120 bushels an acre.
