High-Capacity Manure Application

Whether you need a single field serviced or a large-scale nutrient management program, we have the equipment to get the job done efficiently.

High-capacity manure application in a Colorado field

Our fleet includes two high-capacity manure application systems capable of pumping more than 4,800 gallons per minute, delivering manure up to eight miles from the source. Designed for large dairies and high-volume operations, these systems maximize productivity while minimizing transportation and downtime.

We also operate a third, smaller application system, allowing us to efficiently service smaller farms, shorter pumping distances, and specialty application projects. No matter the size of the job, we have a system designed to fit your operation.

Engineered for Performance

We operate both 10-inch and 12-inch mainline systems, providing the flexibility and capacity to handle a wide range of application conditions while maintaining exceptional flow rates (we also have the ability to adapt to current infrastructures).

Application Methods

Every operation is different, which is why we offer multiple manure placement options:

Soil Incorporation

Places nutrients directly into the soil, reducing odor, minimizing nutrient loss, and improving nutrient utilization.

Surface Application

Efficiently applies manure where incorporation is not required or is not the preferred management practice.

From small-acreage projects to some of the largest pumping operations in the region, our equipment, experienced operators, and high-capacity systems deliver reliable, efficient nutrient application from source to soil.

Precision Planting & Strip Tilling

Custom planting and tillage built around your field

We provide custom precision planting and strip tilling services designed to match your soil conditions, crop rotation, and yield goals. Our approach helps improve seed placement, preserve soil structure, and create the ideal seedbed for strong, consistent emergence.

  • Precision seed placement for maximum yield potential
  • Strip tilling to build soil health and reduce compaction
  • Customized to your crop rotation and field conditions
  • Experienced operators who understand Colorado soils

Why precision matters

Every field is different. Our precision planting and strip tilling services help you make the most of every acre by placing seed at the right depth and spacing, while strip tilling prepares a nutrient-rich seedbed without disturbing the entire soil profile.

Custom Harvesting

Harvesting alfalfa, corn, and forage wheat sorghum

When harvest windows are tight, you need a dependable crew and equipment that can keep up. We provide custom harvesting services for alfalfa, corn, and forage wheat sorghum, protecting crop quality and keeping your operation on schedule.
