Wheatfield is nine hundred people at the corner of State Road 10 and State Road 49, and the companies based here are mostly bigger than the town. The farm operations run crews, equipment and trucking across Jasper County and past the county line. The electrical, insulation and excavating contractors at the crossroads send crews out every morning to Valparaiso, the lakeshore and the south suburbs, and the office that dispatches them is often two people and a whiteboard. Around the KV campus and the plant outside town sits a layer of suppliers, shops and service companies that grew past twenty people one hire at a time, without anyone redesigning how the work moves.

Past twenty people the owner cannot see every desk, and the handoffs are where the hours go. A job gets written on a ticket in the truck, typed into the estimate, typed again into the invoice and once more into the books. Harvest crews are scheduled by text, and the person who knows where everyone is has the whole plan in her head. The AI Opportunity Assessment is built for companies that size, twenty people and up. Over two weeks we interview people at every level, from the owner to the person who does the thing, follow real work from first contact to paid, and put a number on every step that eats hours or causes errors.

Then you get the written plan: what to do first, what is a big swing, what to leave alone, and the math behind it, conservative on purpose. Nothing in it requires buying software from us. If the honest answer is a better spreadsheet, the plan says so. We charge for the thinking. Building is optional. Wheatfield is a few minutes away, so the interviews happen in your shop or at the farm office, before the trucks roll or after the crews are back, on your schedule.

What we tend to find

What we tend to find at 10 and 49

The ticket typed four times

A job starts as a note in the truck, then gets typed into the estimate, the invoice and the books by hand. Across forty jobs a week, that retyping is most of one person’s day.

The schedule lives in one head

Which crew is on which job, which truck is down, who works tomorrow: one person knows, and it goes out by text every night. When that person is out, the whole day slows down.

Compliance paperwork done after dark

Spray records, DOT logs, safety sign-offs and settlement sheets get filled in from memory at the kitchen table. Most of it already exists in a system nobody has asked to talk to another.

The assessment

Two weeks at the crossroads. Then the plan.

The AI Opportunity Assessment runs the same way everywhere: we sit down with the people doing the work, map how a job actually moves, and hand you a written plan for where AI actually helps. Yours to keep, whether we build it or your own people do.

Questions

What Wheatfield companies ask us

We’re a farm operation with twelve full-time people and forty in season. Do we count as twenty?

Yes. Seasonal crews are exactly the kind of handoff-heavy work the assessment is built for, because the plan for the busy months has to survive people who were not there last year. If you are under twenty year-round, book the call anyway. We will tell you straight if two weeks is more than you need.

Our crews are gone from 6 a.m. until dark. When do the interviews happen?

Around your day, not ours. Each interview is thirty to forty-five minutes, and for a company your size there are usually five to twelve of them, spread across the first week. We do them in the shop before the trucks roll, at the farm office at lunch, or after the crews are back. The delivery date is set on day one and does not move.

Most of our work is in Porter and Lake County, not Wheatfield. Does that matter?

No. Where the office sits is what matters, because that is where the estimating, scheduling, billing and follow-up happen, and that is where the hours leak. We ride along on a job or two if the handoff we are tracing runs through the field, but the map of the work gets built at the crossroads.
