Here's how it works

Step 1: pre-planting

Pre-planting decisions: seed selection, planting rate recommendation, nutrient planning and more

Step 2: MID-SEASON

Planting and mid-season: stand establishment; weed, insect and disease scouting; nutrient recommendations; soil and tissue samples

Step 3: HARVEST

Pre- and post-harvest: on-farm storage discussion, profitability assessment, and data review

Step 4: REPORTS

Full scouting report provided to grower following each visit

One of the big benefits is that I’ve got two Indigo Agronomists working with me doing population counts and coming up with plans. I’m really impressed with them and they’ve definitely contributed and been a part of our team.
