Trimble announced today that it has acquired the assets of privately-held C3 of Madison, Wis. The acquisition will enable Trimble to provide unique soil information as well as decision recommendations to farmers’ trusted advisors—such as agronomists, Trimble resellers or Ag retail suppliers.

Paul and Mike Schweitzer have been changing up tillage and fertilizer practices to reduce input costs, improve soil and water quality and maintain or increase yields over conventional tillage on their 1,200 acre, fourth-generation farm near Malta, Ill.
