Soil Sampling
Soil sampling & testing
Effective Precision Ag Starts With Your Soil
Why we sample and test your soil
Soil sampling helps us form an accurate baseline of your soil’s current health and productivity. Once we’ve established your soil’s composition (sand, silt, clay, etc.) and nutrient profile, we use that data to produce your driven yield report. The results of your soil test are an important component in our recommendations for variable rate fertilizer and seeding.

Benefits of soil sampling
Reveals your soil’s composition, which helps produce irrigation & fertilizer recommendations

How does soil sampling work?
We collect samples throughout your field using a hand soil probe. Our belief is that a hand soil probe provides a cleaner, more accurate sample than using an auger. The samples will be sent to an agricultural laboratory for analysis and you’ll receive a full report of the results.
