Ag Property Solutions

What Ag Property Solutions does

Ag Property Solutions (APS) is a U.S.-based agricultural facility solutions provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Emmetsburg, Iowa. The company delivers integrated design/build, equipment installation, and ongoing service for dairy, swine, and poultry producers. Its core offerings span three lines: (1) Design/Build construction services for dairy, swine, and poultry facilities; (2) Dairy Equipment & Automation, including milking equipment, systems and technology upgrades, and manure management — distributed and serviced under partnerships with the three major milking OEMs (DeLaval, GEA, Lely); and (3) Service & Support covering maintenance and cow care. The technology stack is largely composed of third-party OEM hardware and control systems integrated into customer facilities rather than proprietary software platforms.

APS is now part of Bower Ag, a holding entity formed by the merger of Ag Property Solutions, Dairy Specialists, and TDSG, which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Nutrition Company. Under Bower Ag, the company markets itself as a single-source facility provider — from initial design and construction through equipment installation and lifetime support — for enterprise agricultural producers. Revenue is generated through three mechanics: professional services on design/build contracts, hardware sales via OEM equipment pass-through, and recurring service and maintenance contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to producers across regional U.S. livestock markets. Rick Thomas is identified as President and Co-Owner.
