Services for Agricultural Producers
Prudent agronomic choices are more important than ever. Rising input prices, an increasingly restrictive regulatory situation, and narrow commodity price margins require producers to prudently allocate resources and maximize their advantage. Alvey Laboratory, Inc. provides comprehensive testing and information to support those allocation decisions.
Alvey Laboratory, Inc. provides a
complete range of agricultural services, including laboratory services, GPS
soil sampling, fertility management, pest management, yield analysis,
contract research and many other additional services.
Annually, we service approximately 200,000
acres in the central United States and South America from our
Belleville, Illinois facility alone. This laboratory tests over
80,000 soil samples, over
5000 forage samples and
12,000 specialty tests each year
that provide vital information that helps our customers comply with EPA
regulations.
