This robust data set helps growers make difficult decisions with ease, while keeping the bottom line top-of-mind.
Since it’s inception, YMS has collected:
• Soil samples with yield: > 243,000
• Tissue samples with yield: > 76,000

• Product applications: >224,000
“It’s all about the data,” according to Randy Siever, Total Acre COO, “Our software is built to capture and analyze on-farm data, providing valuable insights to guide crop nutrient management decisions in a more efficient manner.” The software integrates with most of the leading farm management systems available in the industry today, and allows you to improve your operation by utilizing new technology, sound data, and more sustainable management practices.

David is very excited to help growers break through their own yield barriers. His path of success in corn production started with his grandfather when he was one of the first ones to break 100 bushels and then his dad was soon in the 200 bushel club and today the yields have surpassed 400, 500, & 600 bushels. Yield advancements have also been completed in both soybean and small grain, with yields of 90’s and mid 100’s respectively.
David realizes that with the grace of God and the ability to surround himself with a good team, success is obtainable.
“Don’t be a ‘next year’ man. Stop hoping and start knowing. Be proactive and let’s be a student of the crop, together!
