Backed by over 40 years of experience, from hands-on farm production to strategic planning, we combine deep local knowledge with a forward-thinking approach. Our team stays ahead of the curve on emerging practices while keeping advice grounded in what works for your region. With a smart, streamlined reporting system, we ensure tasks are managed efficiently and nothing slips through the cracks.

Farm Management Plans

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
When it comes to on-farm investment, decisions are high value—and they need to make sense in the bigger picture. That’s where a solid farm management plan comes in.

We work with growers to shape medium- to long-term strategies that align with the goals of the business. Whether it’s reducing production risk through infrastructure upgrades, automating systems, reworking irrigation layouts, or planning smart crop rotations to tackle weeds and disease, we focus on building practical, profitable systems that last.

Gross Margins

Comprehensive gross margins on all summer and winter irrigated and dryland crops give our clients a better understanding of the main drivers between cropping enterprises enabling us to manage risk and maximise net profit per hectare as well as return per mega-litre.

Crop Health

Healthy crops drive better yields.
When nutrition, disease, and competition are managed well, crops are stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to handle the unexpected. It’s about setting them up to thrive, not just survive, through whatever the season throws at them.

Irrigation Scheduling

Irrigation timing is never one-size-fits-all.
To get it right, you need to weigh up multiple factors—soil type, elevation, EM data, rooting depth, crop stage, forecast temperatures, and evapotranspiration. By combining this with smart interpretation of soil moisture probe data, irrigations can be precisely timed to maximise yield and water use efficiency.

Soil Testing and Analysis

Soil is the foundation of every cropping system.
Its chemical and physical properties are key drivers of production and unlocking its potential starts with understanding what’s below the surface.

At Summit Ag, we build a strong baseline of nutrition and structure to manage each soil type effectively and improve it over time. With deep local knowledge, we identify constraints and apply proven management practices using profiled soil testing, soil pits, and detailed analysis, so you get the most out of every hectare.

Insect Management

Insect management isn’t static, it needs to move with the season.
We tailor strategies to match crop stages, pest pressure, and economics, ensuring control is both effective and sustainable. Our approach goes beyond the drum, with a strong focus on resistance management and integrated tactics that keep pests in check while protecting long-term system health.

Due Diligence

Buying a new farm? Make sure you know exactly what you’re getting.
Advertising only tells part of the story. Our team brings real-world experience to ground-truth your investment, looking past the brochure to assess true production potential. With expert eyes on soil, layout, infrastructure, and historical performance, we provide a clear, detailed report so you can make your next move with confidence.

Seed Production

Specialists in high-quality seed crop production.
Our team has deep expertise in producing dedicated seed crops such as like traited canola, within low-risk, irrigated systems. From tailored crop management to precision work with our own custom machinery, we handle every stage of the process to deliver reliable, top-tier results.
