At Agtegra Cooperative, hard work is a given. Innovative technology can be the difference maker.
Our highest level of precision agriculture compiles and uses multi-dimensional data layers to minimize guesswork and maximize results at harvest.
Provides equipment upgrades, parts and on-farm service and support to keep your operation running strong at all hours of the day and night.
Technology is the backbone of improved production. At Agtegra, we have a long history of using technology to improve yields. We were one of the early adopters of precision farming practices. We led the way with management zone-based farming practices now known as MZB Technologies. We are the recipient of Precision Agriculture awards. The leader of our Ag Technologies group has been recognized as one of the top 10 leaders of precision agriculture. In short – we’ve taken the mystery out of precision agriculture and turned it into an effective management strategy.
Ag Technology has many names and descriptions. Here at Agtegra, it means understanding your fields, managing the nutrient life-cycle, highlighting problem areas, and setting and achieving goals for yield and return on investment. Here is our approach:
MZB is the most economical program when it comes to precision agriculture. This multi-layer approach provides more precise data than a traditional one-layer system. More than that, it allows users to identify yield-limiting factors and make smarter decisions on where to invest inputs to maximize yield and minimize wasted input dollars. With today's precision farming technologies, it's possible to plant different seed populations, apply different fertilizers and nutrients at varying rates, and even plant different hybrids/varieties within the same field - all based on each field management zone's unique characteristics. The results of doing this effectively? More efficient use of inputs. Better yield potential. Higher profitability.
Implementing the many Ag Technologies available today is challenging. From choosing among the many options available, to getting them installed correctly to having them function effectively – these are among the many specialized skills of the Precision Technology Specialists at the Agtegra Innovation Center. The team of experts at the Innovation Center provide equipment upgrades, parts and on-farm service and support to keep your operation running strong at all hours of the day and night. At the Innovation Center, our technicians don’t just provide parts and service – they care about you and your operation. They give you everything you need, at any hour of the day, to keep you running from planting to harvest…and every hour in between. The Agtegra Innovation Center’s precision ag hardware and support services include:
The R7® Tool by WinField features satellite imagery so you can view field maps with historical data, soil variability and other vital information. Using the R7® Placement Strategy (the right genetics, soil type, plant population, cropping system, traits, plant nutrition and crop protection) as a foundation, the R7® Tool offers a host of specialized functions, including:
The Top 10 function lists the 10 best-performing corn hybrids or soybean varieties for a field based on soil type in a selected location, helping your agronomist identify the best genetic choices for each field
The CHT Tool (Corn Characterization Charts) uses data from the Answer Plot® Program to compare CROPLAN® seed products as well as seed from other major companies to see how they are projected to perform on fields just like yours. Categories for comparison include soil type, crop rotation activity, plant population and management practices, to allow you to control—and capitalize on—variability in your fields
The R7® Tool Profitability Map connects input costs and yield potential map data to determine ROI. Less-profitable areas provide an opportunity to better align input investments with yield potential the following year.

In-season imagrey helps agronomists identify problem areas in a field as the season progresses so they can help you take corrective measures before yield potential is jeopardized.
The Field Response Map compares yield data to satellite imagery to indicate crop response to the prescription for that field. This provides a way to validate what worked well and what could be improved for future plans.
Real-time, local research and insights from Answer Plot® and Insight Trials to help you decide which seed products should be part of your game plan for the next season Every fall, we...
