Services
Our Rake location has numerous options available to meet your needs. We carry and support all major chemical manufacturer’s products and supply Chemical, Fertilizers, Seed & Seed Treatment. Our Agronomists are all CCA certified and highly trained to help develop a customized crop protection plan for your operation. If you have questions throughout the year on the products we sell, we encourage you to call or stop in and talk with any one of us.
We are setup to provide packaged or bulk products and carry a large supply of mini-bulk tanks available to our customers to meet the growing needs of today’s operations. However, unlike most retailers, we do not provide custom application services. If you are in need of someone to make custom ground or aerial applications, we have a list of quality custom applicators that fall within our sales geography.
Asmus Farm Supply is also proud to have a Pioneer Seed Dealership at our Rake location since 1964. If you’re interested in learning more about what Pioneer has to offer, come talk to our Pioneer Pro Rep, Devin Helming.
