During our Winter Crop Review, we take the time to reflect on the crop year that was and then switch our focus on the crop year to come. Our Yield Force team prepares the most relevant data for you to process and use to make pivotal decisions for your operation. We invite industry experts to come and provide their opinion on various topics such as cover crops, environment stewardship, grain markets, farm policy and much more.

Independent data collected from your farms. If university trials and seed company plots just don’t give you enough of what you need to make decisions, we can help.  Using data collected from displays monitoring field operations and pooling it together into a database powered by Premier Crop Systems^® in West Des Moines, IA, we can begin to decipher real results. Premier Crop gives us a partner that is a leader in the field of data collection and analysis.  With 18 years of experience, they are far from a startup funded with Silicon Valley dough. They give us the tools to help you move your operation and your business forward.

You don’t need yield maps to tell you that parts of each farm yield differently.  You know each spot – the clay side hill, the sandy river bottom, the timber soil, the gravel knob, the flat behind the building site.  Each spot either yields better or worse than other portions of the field every year.  But you manage each spot the same every year.  The same N rate, the same population, the same dry fertilizer rate.  

Partner with Yield Force and we’ll help break down each field into sub-fields or Management Zones and begin to manage at a higher level.  We help customers vary the rate of seeding, nitrogen, P&K, lime and more.  Although we’re a John Deere dealer, we utilize software that can produce files to be used in any controllers like Ag Leader, Raven, Trimble, Case IH and Precision Planting 20/20.

The farming community is a humble society.  If you had a good year, you don’t want to brag.  If you had a bad year, you don’t want anyone’s sympathy.  But how do you know where you really stand?  Coffee shop chatter, co-op meetings and county and state yields never give you a true picture.   

Crop production is a bulk commodity business.  To be better than the competition and stay in the game, you have to produce at a lower cost with less risk, sell at a higher price and produce a higher yield.  Using methods developed by the Yield Force team, you can quickly determine how your yields stack up.  Not everyone farms the same ground, so Yield Force incorporates soil productivity, or CSR, to level the playing field in their analysis. The best part, it’s all local data.

Fine tune your operation to run at peak efficiency by using analysis created by the Yield Force team using machine data from John Deere’s JDLink^TM.  From minimizing idle hours to increasing harvesting efficiency, we can help you get the most of your machines.

Is your planter performing as it should? Not satisfied with your stands? Yield Force conducted a project in 2015 assessing the performance of 32 different planters across of southeast Iowa.  Data collected included plant-to-plant spacing, uniformity of emergence, and individual plant yield.  Using that data, we can conduct an assessment of your planter’s performance and compare.
