A World of Data
Data collected from farm fields is becoming more and more valuable. Whether it is used for determining value of land or basing decisions in season the data has increasingly become more important. From remote sensing, weather stations, soil moisture/temperature probes, imagery from planes, drones, or satellites, to as-applied planting/spray/harvest data the number of layers of information from your fields is mind-boggling.
The Sunrise Precision Solutions (SPS) data team can help navigate the complex layers to try and provide clarity from the noise. We utilize new tools, crop nutrient modeling, satellite imagery, and weather information, with the old(er) tools like GIS platforms to compile and analyze data to help you maximize return on investment and increase yield. This is done through variable rate planting prescriptions, nitrogen management through modeling, crop performance through imagery, and weather impacts with weather/nutrient models.
We know it’s a complex world of data, and will get more complex in the future. We test the tools, constantly investigate new opportunities, and work to slow the pace of advancement with understanding on our part to communicate the benefits in the field to you.
The SPS data team is ready to help now and prepared for the future.
Summarizing Your Data
Data has always been around, but little has ever been done with it. The Sunrise Precision Solutions team summarizes data on a field by field and trial by trial basis to aid with analysis and evaluation of inputs.
- Soil, Tissue & Manure Sampling
- VRS/VRN Prescriptions
- Satellite Imagery
- Yield Data Processing & Evaluation
Soil Sampling
What is your soil telling you? We have created a library of resources to educate you on the value and importance of soil sampling, and how the data collected from soil sampling will help improve your harvest intake.
Tri-State Fertilizer Recommendations
The Tri-State Nutrient Recommendations have change the presentation of numbers from soil tests results. Sunrise Cooperative will take the opportunity to change from reporting soil tests from pounds/acre to parts per million (ppm).
Sunrise chose to provide our customer-owners the latest recommendations available that are:
- Backed by extensive university research
- Tailored to modern yield potential and agronomic management practices
- Both environmentally and economically sustainable
- Able to be customized for specific crop production fertility needs
Technology tools
Testing new and innovative products, technologies and ideas with our partnering companies to bring you groundbreaking tools. From data collection and visualization to crop models, imagery and nitrogen management, the SPS team works to deliver new technology accompanied by knowledgeable support.

4R Nutrient Stewardship
As Sunrise continues to advance, our focus also rests on the environment and our surrounding world. We believe there is more that can be done to keep our water and nutrient sources pure and have adapted the 4R Nutrient Stewardship concept. 4R Nutrient Stewardship provides a framework to achieve cropping system goals, such as increased production, increased farmer profitability, enhanced environmental protection and improved sustainability.
Properly managed fertilizers support cropping systems that provide economic, social and environmental benefits. On the other hand, poorly managed nutrient applications can decrease profitability and increase nutrient losses, potentially degrading water and air.
To achieve those goals, the 4R concept incorporates the:
Right Fertilizer Source
at the
Right Rate
at the
Right Time
and in the
Right Place
Sunrise Leads the Way with 4R Certification
Four facilities earn year-six certification, while three locations are tabbed with year-one certification Fremont, Ohio
Sunrise Cooperative, Inc. has received notification from the Nutrient Stewardship Council that its Attica, Ballville, Crestline and Norwalk agronomy facilities have retained its 4R Certification for the sixth year. These locations are the first facilities to earn year six certification.
Also earning recognition for with year-one certification are the Sunrise South Charleston, Osgood and Uniopolis agronomy locations.
A leader in agriculture, nutrient management and addressing water quality concerns in the Lake Erie Basin, and the full state of Ohio, Sunrise has proven they are managed in accordance with the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification Standard.
“At Sunrise, we begin each day committed to growing the success of our customer-owners, including having people in place to assist with continued education and responsible management of their nutrients,” said George D. Secor, President/CEO of Sunrise Cooperative. “Our dedication to nutrient stewardship is an example of our commitment to water quality and doing our part by not applying nutrients when they are not needed.”
