Happy Labor Day!

As harvest wraps up, it’s the perfect time to plan ahead for soil and water health. IAS Sustainability Lead Kayla Bergman joined AM 1040’s The Big Show for Clean Water Wednesday to share practical fall conservation tips — from reducing tillage and seeding cover crops early to following the 4Rs of nutrient management. These simple steps help protect your fields, boost long-term productivity, and keep Iowa’s water clean.

Innovative Ag Services proudly nominated Lillie Beringer-Crock of Cascade, Iowa, for the Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Award, presented at the Iowa State Fair. Lillie’s leadership in no-till practices, cover crops, and soil health exemplifies what it means to be Rooted in Progress.

Precision Ag Manager Sam Farrington outlines why yield data is the cornerstone of precision ag—revealing the “why” behind field performance and turning harvest maps into smarter, more profitable decisions. IAS processes data from AgLeader, John Deere, CaseIH, Kinze, Precision Planting and more, layering soils and management zones to deliver clear reports and custom planting/nitrogen recommendations. Whether you’re already mapping or need help getting equipped, IAS can put your data to work.
