Overview

Professional Support for Forage and Feed Crop Operations in Chico

Forage and hay crops support livestock operations and crop rotation systems throughout the Chico area. Alfalfa and grass hay are commonly grown under irrigated conditions, allowing multiple cuttings during the growing season. Managing forage production involves coordinating irrigation cycles, cutting schedules, and baling operations. Timing is critical to maintain feed quality and stand longevity, particularly during periods of changing weather.

Agnomy gives Chico and Butte County farmers a smarter way to manage and coordinate ag services across orchards, field crops, and mixed operations. Instead of relying on word of mouth or chasing down availability, farmers can request services, compare quotes, and book local providers who understand North State soils, irrigation districts, and seasonal timing. With built-in tools like an integrated calendar, job reporting, and real-time weather and soil insights, growers can track what’s scheduled, what’s been completed, and what’s coming next. By keeping service coordination and field activity in one place, Agnomy helps ensure orchard work, field operations, and harvest support stay aligned as conditions shift throughout the season.
