Ag Partners has its own proprietary program that helps you make sense of all your information in a system that layers and examines data – something you won’t find at other ag retailers. InSiteCDM offers correlations that reveal the value of specific field practices while pinpointing weak points in your program to help you get the most out of your crop. It’s an exclusive club with many perks and insider information you can’t get anywhere else. We’d love for you to join us.
For those who don’t manage a confinement or feedlot, manure may seem simple— but for those who do, you know otherwise. A lot of work goes into developing a new livestock site, or expanding an existing one. Ag Partners can take you step-by-step and ensure nothing is overlooked.

You don’t have to look very hard to find chemical manufacturers’ advertisements claiming a significant positive yield response (15, 20, 25+ bu./ac) to using one of their fungicide products. There are many effective products on the market that provide good control and protection against fungal pathogens, but advertisement claims based on ‘average trial data’ aren’t guarantees for your fields. Three critical components (a host, favorable environment, and pathogen) must come together at the same time for a plant disease to thrive. These three components are commonly referred to as the Plant Disease Triangle. Management or alteration of just one of these components prevents or reduces disease severity.
For the most part, farmers will have made their input purchasing decisions before the soil is warm enough to begin planting. Those in-season decisions that still remain can be some of the most challenging to make. Not because they’re the most financially significant, but because there are so many factors present once the crop is planted (current weather, short and long-term forecast, crop condition, grain markets, fluctuating input prices, and an endless list of tasks to complete). All of these factors can have an influence, consciously or sub-consciously, on a grower’s ability to make an effective in-season decision.
To efficiently collect data on your farming operation, it’s important to have a good plan and keep notes as you go, collect in a timely manner, and verify that data matches what happened throughout the season. There are many data points that need to be collected, verified, and entered to get a full-scope picture of your operation for analytics purposes.
We never forget our connection to the Iowa towns we serve. Our customers and shareholders come together in those communities, and our employees live here, too. You know them as firefighters, school volunteers, community event planners, church leaders, and recreation program coaches. Just as our employees give back, we give back as a company. Our LocalMotion program donates 1% of net profits from agronomy sales to community projects. We’re pleased to champion our communities because our success is connected to theirs.
You know how people are always telling you, “Anything is possible?” So you say, “Show me the kind of job I really want—working for a progressive company with big goals and big opportunities for me to do more.” “Hey, that’s easy!” they say. Then, you tell them, “Find me that job in small-town Iowa. Someplace I’m comfortable making a life for myself.” If you’re looking for a career suited to your goals and the possibilities of a future attuned to your values, look no further.
Our commitment to our customers and our communities goes beyond providing quality products and services. We’re also committed to being good stewards of Iowa’s land and waterways through monitoring and nutrient reduction strategies. Ag Partners is a proud member of Agriculture’s Clean Water Alliance, an association of 12 ag retailers operating in the Des Moines and Raccoon River basins. ACWA water monitoring data, collected and analyzed frequently and regularly for over a decade, has characterized conditions in upstream waters, identified geographic uniqueness, shown the value of tailoring solutions to the issues and conditions in each watershed, helped target projects and been valuable in obtaining resources for implementing appropriate remedial strategies.
Since 1999, ACWA members have invested more than $1 million in water quality monitoring in the Raccoon and the Des Moines Rivers and their largest tributaries. Over 10,000 samples have been collected by more than 100 certified samplers.
