RESOURCES
Seed
Customized Seed Solutions
Higher yields begin with matching the best genetics, traits and micronutrients with your soil types, rotations, fertility, and crop management practices. The goal of our Agronomy Advisors is to source as much information as possible from our seed partners. Then, with your input, offer the best seed solutions to maximize yield and profitability on your acres.
We are not brand sensitive; we are genetics and traits sensitive. We look for solutions across multiple proven brands that will maximize each acre’s production. We offer on-demand seed treatment, and we have strategically placed bulk storage facilities to get you seed when you need it.
Once seed is in the ground using variable-rate prescription maps, we match the right crop protection products and proper crop nutrients to maximize high-yield environments.
We are your one-stop agronomy destination, providing elite seed products and local expertise to maximize your crop potential from bag to bin! We look forward to customizing solutions through technology and your experience to help manage each field’s potential.

Precision Ag Services
Our wide array of precision products and services enhances your Innovative Advanced Solutions experience. This allows you to manage your planting and harvest data and every field operation throughout the season for better-informed decisions in your fields.
Variable Rate Planting
Variable Rate Planting requires a Hydraulic Seed Drive, GPS receiver and a Precision Display such as Ag Leader Integra, Versa or Insight. With these components installed, IAS can build a Variable Rate Planting prescription specific to each of your fields.
Yield Monitoring and Mapping
Yield Monitoring and Mapping is the staple to Precision Management. IAS can utilize yield data from various installed systems such as Ag Leader, John Deere, Case AFS or AGCO Fieldstar. If your combine does not have a pre-installed yield monitoring system, an Innovative Ag Services precision technician can install an Ag Leader kit to fit most every make and model combine.
Variable Rate Application
Flat rate fertilizer application can easily become Variable Rate application when an Ag Leader display becomes the controller of product application. Innovative Ag Services can write the VR Prescription for your system. Kits are available for Liquid Application, Strip Till and Spinner Spreader Applications on your farm.
Nutrient Management
Grid sampling is the foundation of nutrient management. Identifying available nutrients in the soil gives us the ability to address the deficiencies in each field to improve the soil profile. Proper nutrient management can help with budgeting in-field resources and optimizing potential ROI opportunities.
