Crop Production Services (CPS) offers farmers high quality agricultural services along with their retail business.  Some of these services incorporate the development and use of precision ag technologies.  Over the last few years CPS has branded and launched a broad based solution across its North American footprint and varied customer base.  The Echelon program continues to meet the needs of apple growers and corn farmers alike, while balancing the challenge to provide user friendly data management tools with analysis rich reporting. 

Keeping on-farm decision making local is important to CPS and its customers.  Echelon has been designed to empower the trusted crop advisor and his/her customer to make decisions based on direct access to their information.  This also enables them to react in-season when corrective measures may be necessary.

Adoption and integration of industry standards and third party solutions is also an attractive component of the Echelon system.  The proliferation of machine connectivity and mobile apps can be a mixed blessing for many producers.  Echelon users only have to login once to view all of their data.

Much like CPS’ retail business offers growers access to multiple brands of crop inputs, Echelon offers growers access to the best options and multiple solutions on the agricultural technology shelf.
