Find Trusted Ag Service Providers Throughout Texas

Texas is the largest agricultural state in the country by land, with 125.5 million acres in farms and ranches and more than 230,000 operations, more than any other state. Texas farms and ranches sold $32.2 billion in agricultural products in 2022, and the state ranks first in the nation in cattle and calves, cotton, hay, sheep, goats, mohair, and horses. About 96 percent of Texas farms and ranches are family operations.

Every region has its own rhythm and its own service needs. Panhandle and South Plains growers depend on center-pivot service, custom silage and cotton harvest, and irrigation efficiency work on a declining Ogallala Aquifer; Rolling Plains and Trans-Pecos ranchers need brush control, fencing, water well and stock tank work, and livestock hauling; Blackland Prairie and Gulf Coast operations rely on custom planting, harvest, aerial application, and hay work; and Rio Grande Valley and Winter Garden growers need irrigation district coordination, grove and vegetable harvest crews, and cold chain support nearly year round.

Agnomy connects Texas growers and ranchers with verified agricultural service providers who understand regional soils, groundwater districts, crop calendars, and compliance requirements. From custom harvest and spraying to land preparation, irrigation, and ranch work, Agnomy makes it easier to find, book, and manage the ag services your operation depends on across Texas.

Answers for growers

Texas questions

What growers in the area ask before they book on Agnomy.

  • What types of agricultural services are available in Texas?
    Texas producers can find a full range of agricultural services including custom harvesting, spraying and pesticide application, drone and precision ag, irrigation support, land preparation, brush control and fencing, hay and forage work, hauling, equipment operators, and labor. Our network connects you with verified providers across every major Texas production region.
  • How do I find agricultural service providers in my area?
    You can browse providers by city or by service type. Agnomy lets you view providers in specific regions across Texas, from the High Plains and South Plains to the Rolling Plains, Blackland Prairie, Winter Garden, Rio Grande Valley, Coastal Bend, Trans-Pecos, and East Texas, each with details on their services, coverage area, and contact information.
  • Are the service providers on Agnomy verified?
    Yes. All service providers on our platform go through a verification process to confirm they are licensed, insured, and have the equipment and expertise for the work. We keep provider information current and encourage reviews to maintain service quality.
  • What crop types do these services support?
    Texas providers work with all major state commodities, including cattle, cotton, hay and forage, corn, grain sorghum, wheat, rice, peanuts, citrus, pecans, onions and leafy greens, watermelons, sheep and goats, and poultry and dairy operations. Many providers specialize in specific crops and regions.
  • How much do agricultural services typically cost?
    Costs vary based on service type, acreage, crop, and location. As a general guide, custom harvesting often ranges from roughly $50 to $200 per acre, drone and spray services from about $5 to $20 per acre, and equipment rental from around $150 to $500 per day. Contact providers directly for quotes based on your operation.
  • Can I book services for the current season?
    Many services can be booked on short notice, but peak-season work such as cotton stripping, silage chopping, custom combining, and rice harvest often books weeks to months in advance. Posting a request early gives you the best chance of locking in the window that fits your operation.
