OUR STAFF

“They’re out there helping us scout to figure out what happened if things like chemical treatments didn’t turn out as expected. Their willingness to get things corrected goes a long way in business.”
Josh Bonnstetter, Slayton, MN

Ag Technology

At Chandler Cooperative, we look into new technologies and advise our customers on which options may best fit their operation.

Precision Ag

We have the hardware, software and expertise to help you take full advantage of variable-rate technology (VRT) and other precision agriculture techniques. We’ve been on the forefront of the precision farming movement for years, and we regularly make new investments to improve our equipment and training.

Precision agriculture is a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, since it respects crops, soils and farmers. We use VRT for seed, chemical, and fertilizer. We make decisions on the best prescription for an individual field by using numerous tools, including:

Climate Fieldview

Climate Fieldview’s goal is to put all your data in one place. You can collect data including in-season images, weather, planting, spraying, soil sampling, harvest and fertilizer as-applied all in one place and then break the data down into usable information. We can also upload all your grid sampling data to give you additional insights into your fields. By having all this data in one place, we can make better decisions to drive the profitability of your operation.

Field Reveal

This program enables and simplifies variable rate applications. It is a go-to tool at Chandler Cooperative for layering data, equation development and output of variable rate prescriptions. We utilize soil testing and yield data points and work with our farmers to determine how aggressive they want to be with yield goals. We then write fertility prescriptions that drive production and protect the environment.

John Deere

John Deere Operations Center provides an online operational management tool that allows access anytime, anywhere. Tools in the Operations Center provide us with the ability to analyze, edit, and make collaborative decisions from our information to get higher performance of our equipment, employees, and crops, reduce input costs, and keep equipment running. These tools help us be more efficient, direct operations remotely, create game plans before the season starts, and allow us to do more in less time.

Fertilizer

Chandler: The Right Place for Crop Nutrients

Our significant investments in fertilizer equipment and infrastructure allow you to provide your crops with the nutrition they need when they need it. We also have the technology and expertise in-house to develop a plan for your fields based on Chandler Cooperative data to deliver more yield from every acre.

Fertilizer

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of crop nutrient products—including macronutrients, secondary nutrients, starters, and micronutrients—to support complete plant nutrition. Our equipment enables multiple, timely nitrogen applications, ensuring this essential nutrient is delivered precisely when the crop requires it.

To maximize nitrogen use efficiency, we incorporate proven nitrogen stabilizers that help reduce fertilizer loss and improve nutrient uptake. Our agronomy program also includes soil testing to support both nutrient-building strategies and ongoing maintenance programs. We provide grid-based soil sampling paired with variable-rate application technology to place nutrients accurately and efficiently across each field.

We operate under the 4Rs nutrient stewardship framework, using the right fertilizer source, applied at the right time, in the right place, and at the right rate to drive yield, sustainability, and return on investment.

Featured Nutrients

MicroEssentials®

A nutrient blend designed to provide uniform nutrient distribution, increased uptake, and season-long sulfur availability through advanced crop nutrition techniques and technologies.

Visit the MicroEssentials website >

Ascend® Pro

This plant growth regulator can help improve root growth and provide better early season vigor. This formulation was designed to provide more consistent performance across all environmental conditions.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential micronutrient for plant life. In Minnesota, while some soils are capable of supplying adequate amounts for crop production, addition of zinc fertilizers is needed for others. Zinc is a recommended micronutrient in fertilizer programs for production of corn, sweet corn and edible beans.

ContaiN Nitrogen Stabilizer

This nitrogen management product works above and below the soil. It is ideal for pairing with urea or UAN to efficiently increase nitrogen usage and reduce loss due to volatilization and improve below-ground efficiency. ContaiN can be used with multiple sources of fertilizer

Instinct®

This nitrogen stabilizer maximizes nitrogen when used with UAN, urea and liquid manure.

With Chandler custom application, you get precision, flexibility, and peace of mind—delivering the right nutrients and protection exactly where and when your crops need them.

Scouting

We regularly scout fields to make informed recommendations for timely spray and the best product, whether that’s for herbicides, disease or pests.

Sampling

Sampling data gathered over time can be invaluable in fine tuning fertilizer prescriptions and crop protection plans. We utilize tissue, soil and grid sampling. Alfalfa, in particular, benefits from tissue sampling to correct soil nutrient deficiencies.

Seed

Local Knowledge, National Brands

The best seed is the one that performs in the soils and environment of your farm. At Chandler Cooperative, we have a deep understanding of local agronomic factors that influence the success of the seed that goes in the ground.

This knowledge comes from years of working closely with our customers, utilizing test plots and consulting with experts from the brands we represent.

We will sit down with you to make a plan, based on a field-by-field approach. Our agronomists then make recommendations based on Chandler Cooperative research and Answer Plot data.

Seed Brands

Choosing the right hybrids and varieties for your farm requires careful consideration of traits, genetics, management practices, fertility, soil types, and more. We partner with you to develop a seed selection strategy designed to achieve your objectives and maximize results.

We represent multiple brands, giving you the flexibility to match the right seed to every acre. Our portfolio includes corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and custom cover crop blends, allowing for tailored solutions based on your farm’s unique needs.

To stay ahead of the curve, we trial new seed numbers in collaboration with our partners to identify those with the greatest potential. We also attend industry meetings regularly to understand the latest innovations and best practices, ensuring our recommendations are informed, practical, and designed to benefit your operation.

The Proof is in the Plot

Answer Plots deliver real-world insights you can trust. By capturing data from multiple production measures, they reveal which seed products truly excel across different soils, environments, and management systems. The result is clear, actionable guidance for choosing the genetics that fit your farm.

Secure Financing

Financing for agronomic success

Operating loans from traditional ag lenders are based on financial factors, not yield potential. As a result, they often lend only up to the amount of insured production for operating loans, which can leave growers short the dollars needed to farm most profitably.

SECURE by WinField United supplements bank loans with low-cost, fixed-rate financing.
SECURE by WinField requires no collateral up to $500,000. This makes the loan “unsecured,” so there is no lien on grain or land.
SECURE is available in the fall, so you can take advantage of early-order discount programs (often at 0% interest).
Payment isn’t due until after the crop is sold, giving you time to market crops at a more opportune time.
Even if the current year’s loan isn’t paid off, you can take out a second loan for the coming season.
