CROP CONSULTING THAT PUTS FORAGE FIRST
Healthy crops mean better forage and feed
Our crop consulting services give you the insights you need to match seed, agronomy, and timing to your operation:
Rotation planning and corn silage management.
Forage harvest and grazing advice tailored to your fields.
Independent recommendations based on farm data, not sales quotas.
We assess your soils, herd needs, and forage goals to design practical cropping systems such as:
Choosing an alfalfa-grass blend for hay or silage.
Adjusting harvest timing to capture feed value.
Adding cover crops to improve soil health.
With guidance from professional agrologists who know BC farms, you’ll get advice that fits your operation and your goals. The result is stronger stands, better forage, and cropping plans you can count on season after season.
COST SHARE AND FUNDING SUPPORT
Investing in new practices and technology is easier when funding programs can help cover the cost. We guide BC producers through available cost-share opportunities, making it simpler to access support for upgrades and improvements.
Some of the programs we help farms connect with include:
BC Climate Agri-Solutions Fund – support for climate-smart practices like precision ag, manure management, and cover cropping.
BC Farm Tech Adoption Program – funding for technology upgrades, equipment improvements, and better data management.
Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) – farms with a completed EFP can access funding for nutrient management planning and other best practices.
CFGA OFCAF Program – cost-share support for cover crops, rotational grazing, and soil health initiatives.
MAKING PRECISION AG WORK ON YOUR FARM
We help you get more from every acre with the right tools and technology.
Management-zone mapping based on soil, yield and imagery data.
Variable-rate prescriptions for seed and nutrients.
Equipment retrofits and modifications with Ag Leader technology.
Guidance on available cost-share programs to make upgrades more affordable.
Precision ag is about more than just technology. It is about using data to make real improvements in efficiency, yield, and forage quality.
