Amy VanStraaten joined Crop Quest in 2013 having completed a diploma in Agriculture & Environmental Studies at the University of Guelph’s, Ridgetown campus. In 2013 Amy became certified as a Nutrient Management Consultant and Planner as it is a role that supports her belief in the importance of agriculture and its interactions with the natural environment. She has since become an expert, providing clients with valuable advice relating to manure, anaerobic digesters, construction and siting of barns as well as manure storage, all while ensuring the soil and waterways remain safe for future generations of farmers.
Amy’s experience includes a background with OMAF and she is no stranger to farming, having started a dairy farm with her husband in 2009. Together Amy and her husband milk 80 cows on their farm near Gads Hill, primarily Holsteins with some Jerseys. She is engaged in all aspects of the operation, and when she isn’t in the office or on the road preparing nutrient management strategies she can be found in the barns or on the road to various sporting events with her young family.
Amy’s varied background in dairy farming, the environmental field and hands-on cropping experience provide the perfect foundation for her to assist clients with Nutrient Management planning. Passionate about agriculture, Amy provides Nutrient Management services that help farmers meet their regulatory requirements, maintain a productive and profitable growing operation, and help to turn nutrient management into asset management. Amy is also an expert in MDS and available to prepare both MDS I and MDS II calculations.
Amy is available to assist clients with all of their nutrient management needs and to answer questions at any time.
