The company provides professional consultation for a variety of agricultural industries including: beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, horses, grains, and coffee. Soil and land management is another area of expertise for the Brazilian organization.

Rock River Laboratory, Inc. is a Watertown-based forage and soil testing laboratory that provides agricultural production assistance through the use of advanced analytical techniques. Founded in 1976, the lab is now one of the nation's leading forage analysis labs, as well as Wisconsin's largest soil-testing laboratory.

The new facility will provide farmers with information needed to increase the productivity and efficiency of agricultural production, while minimizing environmental impact. The grand opening of the new laboratory is planned for July 1, 2013.
