Long-Term Productivity

Our Expertise

Hostetler Precision Ag Solutions was built from firsthand experience in the field. For more than 20 years, founder Kent Hostetler researched, tested, and implemented products on his own farm to determine what truly worked. In 2002, he took that knowledge a step further, creating Hostetler Precision Ag Solutions to help other farmers improve efficiency, yields, and profitability using proven, practical solutions.
“I wanted to bring the same leadership and insight I relied on in my own operation to other farmers,” Kent says. “Helping customers become more profitable while improving soil and plant health is what drives me every day.”
Based near Andrew in east central Iowa, Hostetler Precision Ag Solutions has grown into a trusted partner for farmers across the northeast Iowa, southwest Wisconsin, and northern Illinois region. Our team works closely with customers throughout the entire growing season, offering guidance, support, and precision-driven strategies. We partner only with companies that stand behind their products, operate with integrity, and continue advancing modern agriculture.

OUR APPROACH

Our approach is simple but intentional: optimize profitability through an integrated system. We focus on foundational soil understanding, precision placement of seed and nutrients, and precision nutrition (internal link to each of those within the site), ensuring plants have what they need, when they need it, and where they can use it most efficiently.
Today, Kent works alongside long-time team member Bryan Whitman and his sons, Kelly and Keith, continuing a family-driven commitment to helping farmers succeed. At Hostetler Precision Ag Solutions, your operation matters to us. We’re here to help you make the most of your investment, this season and for generations to come.

The Maximum Farming System®

This integrated, science-backed approach powered by Ag Spectrum ensures plants receive the right nutrients in the correct form, timing, amount, and location. It provides a complete production plan specifically designed to overcome complex challenges like weather and disease pressures.

Nutrient Use Efficiency

Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) is the direct, measurable outcome of successfully applying our Maximum Farming philosophy. It represents a disciplined financial strategy focused on maximizing the return on every fertilizer dollar spent. We achieve this by improving root growth and precisely managing micro-nutrient availability, overcoming inefficient reliance on traditional N, P, and K inputs. This precision management ensures the plant receives the right nutrient, maximizing its benefit through optimized timing and placement, leading to a safer, more sustainable, and profitable supply.
