With dependable service and attention to field conditions, we help you bring in your crop efficiently while working to minimize harvest loss.
Cover Crops
Cover crops are an important part of Severson Ag’s approach to soil health and long-term land productivity. By planting cover crops on as many acres as practical, we work to reduce erosion, capture nutrients, improve soil structure, and support better water infiltration.
In 2027, we expect coverage to exceed 90% of our total farm acreage, with decisions based on what makes sense for each field and what the weather allows. This reflects our continued commitment to responsible land stewardship and protecting the productivity of the ground we farm.
Strip-Till
Strip-till, our standard approach prepares a narrow strip for planting while leaving the soil between rows largely undisturbed. This approach can support soil conservation and nutrient placement while aligning field preparation with crop and field conditions.
The Right Approach for Your Land
Every farm and landowner has different needs. Whether you're looking for a dependable partner to manage your farmland, exploring a custom farming arrangement, or considering a change in how your land is operated, Severson Ag takes the time to understand your goals and determine the right approach.
