Soil Science. Defensible Documentation.
We help agricultural landowners properly identify, document, and defend the soil fertility value already present in their land.
Our Approach
We believe soil fertility should be
When agricultural property changes hands, soil fertility is often ignored — yet it can represent significant, deductible value when evaluated correctly. We bring sound agronomy, disciplined documentation, and professional credibility to that process.
Every report we produce is grounded in university-level science and defensible documentation standards — because landowners deserve certainty, not estimates.
Scientific Leadership

Soil Scientist & Professor, Department of Soil & Crop Sciences
Texas A&M University
Jake Mowrer is a soil scientist and professor in the department of soil and crop sciences at Texas A&M University. He holds MS and PhD degrees in soil fertility and soil chemistry from the University of Georgia. He was raised on a cattle farm in North Georgia and understands how critical the soil and its nutrients are for plant and animal production. From an early age, hard work and respect for the land and natural resources that sustain a family farm were central to his life. For this reason, he is dedicated to helping the clients of 180 AgPros to better understand and benefit from the bounty of the natural resource we call soil.
