Helping Growers since 1998
Reduce costs, improve crop emergence and yield, and increase revenue per acre
Working one-on-one
We work one-on-one with each grower, year-by-year and field-by-field, to develop a residue harvest program that supports their specific harvest and rotation activities and timing—all the while meeting long term soil management goals.
We practice sustainable harvest residue removal, and our own precision standards are stringent enough to meet land and soil conservation requirements of the National Resource Conservation Service.
Soil Health
Balanced residue management promotes optimum residue levels to support overall soil health, organic carbon levels, fertility, and moisture requirements.
Cost Reduction
Balanced residue management reduces costs with fewer tillage passes, planter skips, and lower nitrogen fertilizer.
Improved Yields
Balanced residue management promotes faster and higher percentage emergence that improves yields.
Better Protection & Preparation
Balanced residue management provides quick field preparation for double cropping, and enhances crop protection and soil amendment activities.
Greater Focus
Focus your resources, equipment budget, workforce, and management skills on your high-value primary crops.
Increased Revenue
With balanced residue management, we pay you for the stover we harvest and remove, and you have fewer field preparation costs—all adding to a better bottom line.
Based on years of experience
Our residue management program is based on years of experience working directly with growers. We determine with each grower, field-by-field, the right amount of residue to harvest to ensure moisture and soil protection needs are met while optimizing the effectiveness of tilling, inputs and emergence.
What makes us different
Pacific Ag is the first and only national company focused on harvesting crop residue. Now operating in 10 states, we harvest 12 months a year, moving our fleet of equipment around the country.

We offer a professional interface
We provide consistent payments, details, and documentation records you can count on.
We’re here for the long haul
Our staff understands the agriculture industry and supports a business culture that is based on building long-term relationships.
The Importance of Harvesting the Right Amount of Residue on Your Field
Too much residue
- makes tillage more difficult and expensive
- interferes with planting operations and emergence
- slows the warming of soils
- reduces yield due to immobilized nitrogen
- can be a source of pests and pathogens
- adds to crop protection costs
Too little residue
- hurts soil moisture retention
- reduces soil fertility
- diminishes organic matter
- weakens soil structure
- increases risk of blow
