Each team member completes the Kolbe A assessment for heightened self-awareness and social awareness to improve team dynamics.
We utilize behavioural analytics to predict the success of each candidate fit and adjust when requried in quarterly goal and performance reviews. We are Kolbe A and Predictive Index certified.
The one and only farm to successfully and continuously utilize the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS) across our consulting and operating divisions.
EOS Framework and Traction organizer help us acheive our 3 Year goals and keep alignment on achieving them EOS Hierarchy. Visionary + Integrator, Etc.
“To the degree you focus on strengthening these Six Components as leaders and managers, everything will fall into place. That will move your business into the top 5 percent”
Gino Wickman
We hire good people to drive growth. We control profits from data that helps us make the best decisions for our margins.
Operating capital is 80% supplied through our insurance through our Consulting and Financial Management divison; Maverick Ag who are alos licensed advisors of Global Ag Risk Solutions. A margin based insurance for farms.
“We value growth mentality; our mindset is focused on creating a future being bigger and better than the past.”

We use tech to innovate and optimize Gross Margin and minimize labour power and machinery costs. Collaborating with our farm partners on continuous technological advancements: John Deere and Pattison Ag.
At Hebert Grain Ventures we pride ourselves on “doing things right by the land.” That means using the best that modern technology has to offer so that we can maximize yields while minimizing the impact on the environment. Here are some of the practices and technologies we have adopted to make our operations more efficient and sustainable.
Auto Steer
Auto steering is the automated control of a farm vehicle using GPS information. Auto steer both significantly improves the accuracy of each pass a farmer makes with his equipment while cutting operator fatigue and stress.
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)
The adoption of GMO crops is one of the most valuable advances in the history of agriculture – benefiting consumers, farmers and the environment. The benefits of GMOs include increasing yields so that more food is produced on less land and with less fuel and other inputs; mitigating the effects of weeds, insects and disease; lessening the need for tillage which can harm soil and cause erosion; and perhaps most importantly, making safe, nutritious food more and affordable.
Precision Agriculture
The practice of gathering and acting on real time data, allowing quick decisions to fine tune inputs and other variables on an acre by acre basis. Precision agriculture also refers to the range of GPS-based technologies and practices that include auto steer, variable rate technology and application, crop scouting and monitoring inputs and yields.
Sectional Control
Technology that shuts off the seeding mechanism according to factors identified on a field map. Sectional shut enables more efficient use of inputs by avoiding double planting at end rows, point rows and around terraces. It also speeds up planting by making it unnecessary to slow down to raise or lower the planter at end rows. It also prevents over-application of chemicals while consistently applying inputs at the right rate in the right spots.
Real Time Kinematic (RTK) Satellite Navigation
RTK is the most accurate form of GPS navigation and auto steer for farm equipment. With an RTK system a reference station monitors GPS signals and provides real-time corrections to equipment. RTK delivers accuracy to within a single centimeter.
Variable Rate Application (VRA)
Applying seed and crop inputs according to the exact qualities and requirements of each portion of a field. Variable Rate Application can be map based (using GPS) or sensor based. Our preferred practice is to grid sample the land and then apply inputs (including all main nutrients) at the recommended rate for the yield goal of each acre. VRA maximizes the efficient use of inputs while minimizing waste and environmental impact.
