Good agronomy starts with understanding the problem.
NCA engagements begin with a conversation — not a sales pitch. Tell us what you’re seeing, and we’ll determine together whether further investigation makes sense.
Tell us what’s happening.
Share the symptoms, history, photos or other information you think may be relevant.
There is no charge and no obligation for this initial conversation. Its purpose is simply to understand the concern and determine whether NCA may be able to help.
You don’t need to know which service you need.
START A CONVERSATIONWhen a problem warrants deeper investigation, the next step is a focused technical consultation.
NCA reviews the available information and relevant history to better understand the situation. Depending on the issue, this may include photographs, production or management history, environmental conditions, fertility or input records, previous testing, and other relevant evidence.
We work through what the available evidence supports, identify important information gaps, and outline appropriate next steps.
Not every problem requires an on-site visit.
If the issue can reasonably be addressed remotely, there is no requirement to proceed any further.
When direct observation is warranted, NCA can conduct a structured on-site assessment to investigate the conditions contributing to the problem.
If you have already completed the $195 Initial Technical Consultation, the full $195 consultation fee is credited toward the $595 On-Site Assessment.
Remaining assessment fee after consultation credit: $400.
Travel outside NCA’s standard service area, laboratory analysis, third-party testing, or other additional costs are not assumed to be included in the standard assessment fee. Any additional costs would be discussed with the client before proceeding.
Sometimes the investigation ends there.
Other situations may benefit from additional testing, monitoring, implementation support, follow-up assessment, or longer-term agronomic advisory.
When additional work may be beneficial, NCA will explain the rationale, define the scope, and provide pricing before any additional work proceeds.
You decide how far the engagement goes.
