What AgVICE does

AgVICE LLC is an Iowa-based agricultural services firm founded in 2019 that specializes in regulatory compliance, site development, and agronomic support for swine producers and row crop farmers operating livestock facilities in Iowa. The company's core offerings include Manure Management Plan (MMP) writing and annual maintenance (4-year P-Index plans, short-form submissions, application rate planning, and DNR correspondence), all-inclusive site permitting and design services (Master Matrix scoring, construction permit applications, county hearings, storm water permits), and agronomic services (soil sampling, variable rate prescriptions, late spring nitrate and plant tissue testing) delivered by an in-house Certified Crop Advisor. AgVICE also writes USDA REAP grants focused on solar arrays and grain drying systems for Iowa producers and nonprofits.

The company's underlying technology centers on three proprietary or specialized assets: GIS and 3D excavation software for terrain modeling and cut/fill calculations that drive site selection and cost estimation; RTK GPS technology used in-house for sub-inch barn staking in lieu of expensive survey crews; and the proprietary myMANUREapp web platform, which gives customers 24/7 access to MMPs, historical manure test data, soil sample documentation, and auto-generated Iowa DNR-compliant application record-keeping forms. AgVICE also distributes Manure Magic, a patented pit additive (licensed inbound rather than developed in-house) validated by Purdue University to reduce hydrogen sulfide by up to 40% and odor by up to 50%.

AgVICE operates a sales-led, professional-services go-to-market targeting mid-market Iowa livestock farmers through direct phone (1-800-674-3045), email, and website contact, supplemented by educational blog content on manure management topics. Revenue streams combine recurring MMP subscription-style services, one-time project-based permitting and design fees, agronomic service packages, grant writing fees, and product sales of Manure Magic. Pricing is quote-based with no public rate card; the firm offers no-obligation farm visits and data reviews as a top-of-funnel conversion mechanism. Geographic scope is single-state (Iowa), customer concentration is distributed across individual farmers, and the firm is privately held with no institutional funding disclosed and a 1–10 person team led by co-owners Samantha DeWitt and Seth Wengert.

Broad incumbents

• Climate FieldView (Bayer): Bayer's flagship digital agriculture platform providing data collection, field-level analytics, and agronomic recommendations across millions of acres. Comparable as a broad incumbent in farm data management that AgVice's myMANUREapp competes against for the compliance and recordkeeping use case.

Emerging players

Comparable as an emerging player in the manure treatment and application space where AgVice also operates via Manure Magic pit additive distribution and manure application planning services.
• Sound Agriculture: Ag tech company combining soil health products with a digital platform for nutrient management and sustainability outcomes, formerly operating as Agren. Comparable as an emerging player in soil health, nutrient efficiency, and conservation-focused farm advisory—directly adjacent to AgVice's manure nutrient management and soil sampling services.

Regional players

• AgriGold/Midwest agronomy service firms: Regional seed and agronomy service providers offering soil sampling, variable rate prescriptions, and CCA-certified agronomic advice across the Midwest. Comparable as a regional competitor in the agronomic consulting and soil testing segment where AgVice also competes via its CCA-certified services.
