The Central Coast Is Our Home

Agconnect was founded in Paso Robles in 1999. We're not a national company making generic recommendations—we've spent 25+ years learning the specific soil types, water quality issues, and growing conditions that make the Central Coast unique. When we talk about high-bicarbonate water or calcareous soils, we're talking about water we've tested and soils we've sampled across thousands of local acres.

Counties We Serve

San Luis Obispo County

Wine grapes, vegetables, cattle

Our home base in Paso Robles. Deep expertise in local soil and water conditions.

Central Coast Challenges We Solve

Calcareous Soils

High calcium carbonate raises pH, locks out micronutrients like iron and zinc.

Acidifying fertilizers, chelated micronutrients, humic acids for improved availability.

High Bicarbonate Water

Common levels of 200-400+ ppm create ongoing soil pH increase and nutrient lockout.

Water acidification with Borreplex OA, regular water testing, adjusted fertilizer forms.

Variable Microclimates

From fog-cooled coastal to hot interior valleys—10-20°F differences in short distances.

Site-specific programs based on actual conditions, not regional averages.

Water Scarcity

Drought conditions, limited allocations, expensive water purchases.

Soil health focus to maximize water-holding capacity, efficient fertigation.
