About Tidewater Ag

Serving Northeastern North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia

Tidewater Ag strives to insure that it's clientele can remain profitable in today's harsh economic environment.

Independence is emphasized because independent crop consultants receive no income from sales of any agricultural input including: fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, equipment, etc... This allows us to give advice and make recommendations without bias.

Tidewater Ag Inc. provides timely, up-to-date, technically correct, environmentally sound, and economically feasible recommendations to its clientele. Services and recommendations are customized for each individual operation. Each operation is carefully evaluated and advised on ways of becoming more efficient.

Proud member of the NAICC and NCACA.
