A no-tiller since 1978, Bill Lehmkuhl saw the need for local crop consulting when he returned to his family farm after graduating from the Ohio State Univ.
“There was nobody in the area, including retailers, who were doing site-specific agronomy work at the time,” Lehmkuhl recalls. “I built my own rig with a GPS and computer on it, and that’s how I got started.”
Lehmkuhl launched his independent crop consulting business in 1994, a business that eventually became Precision Agri Services Inc. (PASI), Precision Farming Dealer’s 14th annual Most Valuable Dealership.

Lehmkuhl and his team of 13 — which includes 3 full-time agronomists — need to clear some space in the trophy case because they also received the 2025 Top Volume award from Precision Planting for being the company’s top seller in the region.
During a challenging year in the ag industry, PASI relied on its two core principles to separate itself from the pack: elite service and hands-on education.
