Your agronomy team in the field with you

Not a phone call, boots on the ground

Premium Ag’s consulting service is offered exclusively to our full-time agronomy clients. We make 10 to 12 in-field visits per growing season, walking your fields, assessing conditions firsthand, and helping you make sound decisions at every stage of the crop year.

With a short growing season and an ever-expanding list of products, rates, and timing windows, decisions are difficult and can be very costly. Applying rates and products suited to specific pest populations and field conditions is both environmentally and economically responsible. That’s where having experienced agronomists alongside you makes the difference.

We keep a very limited client list deliberately, so every operation gets the attention it deserves. Two full-time experienced agronomists (Matt Gosling, P.Ag., CCA and Andrew Clements, P.Ag., CCA) plus three supporting staff provide detailed observations and practical solutions. We take pride in maintaining quality equipment, kept clean, well-maintained, and ready for a highly dependable service.
