The Herz Performance Ag Story

Bill Herz takes agriculture to heart: He grew up on an Illinois family farm and knows what it means to live the farming life from sunup to sundown.

Working professionally in agronomy since 2015, Bill and his team are deeply invested in the science of modern farming. They bring the latest solutions in soil sampling, fertility management, nitrogen management, variable-rate prescriptions, and variable-rate seeding to local growers — and they combine it with world-class Pioneer^® products that are proven to perform in north central Illinois.

Most of all, Herz Performance Ag brings a hands-on approach to each customer.

Sure, we want to talk about your operation — but we also want to experience it. Seeing crops, walking in fields, and touching soil is how we learned to love agriculture … and it’s the best way to learn about your farm and its needs.
