About AgMS

Agri-Management Solutions is a family-owned soil sampling and crop advisor company located near Wanatah, Indiana in La Porte County.

The story

Our company was founded by Brad Rocke, who grew up in Eureka, Illinois, right in the center of the midwestern corn belt. After graduating from the University of Illinois in 1997 (with highest honors) with a degree in Agriculture Science, Brad spent six years doing soil samples for a large fertilizer company while working for local ag companies. During that time, he observed the real tension between recommending the best solutions for farmers and the desire to sell the most profitable products. Plus, the rigid procedures of a big company meant they could not always accommodate the needs and schedules of growers.

Sensing an opportunity, Brad struck out on his own, founding Agri-Management Solutions, Inc. in 2004 with a commitment to providing flexible service and unbiased crop advising. 

In addition to soil sampling, Agri-Management Solutions has expanded to offer a range of tested products and services that increase soil health and lower farmers cost per bushel.

In 2015, Agri-Management Solutions became an independent distributor for Conklin, after testing their Crop Management System products on our own farm.

In 2017, we began offering NutraDrip, a leading subsurface drip irrigation company. Again, this was done after seeing results on our own land.

Brad stays abreast of the latest advancements in agronomy science and research, through industry resources and his own testing. This has led Agri-Management Solutions to recently expand into offering products that improve soil biologicals for healthier soils and sustainable yields.

We only recommend products that have been proven to work. If Brad wouldn’t use it on his farm, he doesn't expect you to.
