Soil sampling is a foundational principle of a good fertility program, and Progressive Ag Services LLC makes sure those samples are collected in the truest form possible. We use Wintex 1000 hydraulic probes to collect consistent soil cores and eliminate human error.

All samples are sent to WayPoint Analytical in Champaign, Illinois for analysis. This is a certified lab whose quality control program is second to none. All of this is done to provide our customers with the most accurate soil sampling information possible.

Nitrogen, Seeding, Fertilizer

Combining years of experience and trusted GIS software gives Progressive Ag Services LLC the ability to work with growers to create customized input prescriptions. By identifying variability in each field, we can better utilize inputs such as seed, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, & Lime. This process helps growers maximize their input investments.

Progressive Ag Services LLC is the leader in field management zone creation in Central Illinois. Our use of the SoilOptix scanner allow us to precisely identify unique productivity zones in each field to help better utilize crop inputs to improve ROI.

Identifying different zones is only one part of zone creation; we then works with growers to develop a plan for fertility and variable rate seeding to maximize every acre of an operation. SoilOpitx is a cat scan for soil nutrients and properties – mapping over 20 different soil attributes. Some of these are: OM, pH, CEC, P, K, and micronutrients. It’s data provides us with over 300 “soil samples” per acre.
