Soil is the foundation of every successful harvest, so understanding it will allow you to get the full potential of your land. Soil sampling is one of the most effective crop nutrition methods. Here's an overview of the process and how we can support you.
The Process
Once the fields are mapped online, our team heads out to collect samples using GPS technology for precise results. These samples are then sent to an accredited lab for analysis. When we get the results, typically between 2 to 3 weeks, we create a tailored report designed specifically to your farm’s needs.
How We Can Support You
Every farm is unique, which is why our sampling service is tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you prefer whole-field or grid sampling, we can adapt to your requirements. Our service doesn’t stop at reports; we also supply and spread lime and fertilisers as needed, meaning we can offer you the complete package if you need it.
Common Mistakes
One of the biggest mistakes we see all the time is skipping soiling sampling altogether. Without it, farmers often apply more fertiliser or chemicals than necessary. By testing your soil, you can give your crops exactly what they need, nothing more, nothing less.
When to test your soil
The best time to test your soil is before sowing, either in autumn or early spring. This ensures you know your soil’s nutrient status ahead of planting, helping you plan the year's crop with confidence.
