About Us
D.L.S. is a family owned business that has been helping farmers for over 40 years. There is no contract to sign because we let our work speak for itself. We make your fertilizer recommendations, and you buy from your chosen dealer... We don't sell products.
A Common Sense Approach
THAT YIELDS UNCOMMON PROFITS
Services
What we do is test your soils, explain the results and do what needs to be done to get your fields in the condition for higher yields.
​
We soil test every two years and make customized fertilizer recommendations each year. Most of this is done on-site, so we have the opportunity to talk about last years results and what is expected for the next growing season.
We look for ways to help improve your production. One way is the use of plant analysis's. From these we get an accurate reading of what is taken up by the plant. Soil and plant test work very well together.

Testimonials
Randy Wierschem
"I'm a small acre farmer that needs to utilize nutrients the best I can, to gain yields the best I can. I have been using D.L.S. recommendations for over 30 years and have noticed a great return on investment because of it."

"We have been doing business with DLS Crop Consulting for 10 years and are incredibly pleased with the result we are getting on our farm. They are professional; they provide advice based on real data they retrieve through the service they offer. They are truly knowledgeable about the things that affect my farm and productivity. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to “up their game”."

"Thank you DLS for doing our soil sampling. You do an excellent job and have saved us money on input
and fertilizers over the years.
I really like the tissue samples from the plants. They tell the real story on how the plant is doing.
Again, thank you Dan with DLS Crop Consulting."
FAQ
Q:
What can D.L.S. do for me that I can't do for myself?
​
?
A:
PLENTY.
FIRST of all, your D.L.S. Consultant works full-time at helping farmers make better farming decisions.
So we have the time to do the things that you don't have the time for.
​
SECOND, we have almost immediate access to computer information and laboratory facilities, which means we can get you the information you need quicker than most other agricultural testing labs in the state.
​
THIRD, your D.L.S. Consultant is up-to-date with current information, research results, and promising agronomic developments that could be useful in your decision making.
​
FOURTH, every year D.L.S. conducts an analysis of a wide range of crop histories in specific areas and calculates the optimum fertility for that region.
Therefore, you'll benefit from information that D.L.S. has collected from similar farms all over your region.
​
FIFTH, and most important, your D.L.S. Consultant can provide you with information gained from years of experience, as well as information the D.L.S. Consulting Service has learned over the years in solving the problems of farmers like you.
Q:
Why should I pay D.L.S. to run my soil test when my fertilizer dealer does it for free?
?
A:
FOR ONE BIG REASON.
The reason is that we can be totally objective. We have no products to sell, only information and service. Your fertilizer dealer does run some of the same test we do, but he's probably going to give you the results along with a sales pitch. Nothing wrong with that... as long as he has exactly what you need.
GO THE D.L.S. WAY!!
