Agra-Gold Consulting

Agra-Gold Consulting Ltd. (Agra) is a leading livestock nutrient management company in Manitoba.

The pillars of our business are:

To maximize the agronomic value of the nutrients spread from livestock facilities. Many of the sites which we work with capture value for the nutrients that are spread on the land. Our comprehensive program allows us to create an agronomic calculator to show the value of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium available for the following crop on every field.

To ensure that the facilities which we work with are environmentally sustainable. Our understanding of soil agricultural capabilities, nutrient release rates, and background site characterization allows us to design a nutrient management plan for your farm which is compliant with Manitoba’s Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulation.
