Together they utilize a number of technology tools to help you manage each acre to it best capability. Geo-referenced soil sampling combined with seasonal operation data layers such as yield maps, allows your trusted Heritage Advisor to help you make the best decisions. In addition we offer multiple precision tools to provide insights on placing the correct seed and fertility on the right soils. Then use these tools to put the right amount of nutrients on the crop for maximum yield potential and profitability.
The R7® Tool Profitability Map connects input costs and yield potential map data to determine ROI at an acre level. We can assign variable costs to a Rx map and overlay that with harvest data. Areas found to be less profitable provide an opportunity to better align input investments with yield potential the following year.
