Fall soil sampling is important, but here’s the thing: soil sampling needs to be informative and effective for the grower. There’s no point to sampling if the results you get back make little sense and are no good to you.
We bring soil health intel from field to client. Identifying nutrient profiles, ratios, and deficiencies is a proactive approach which leads to a more balanced platform in which to achieve yield and quality demanded by today’s marketplace.
Here’s how we do it.
Soil details collected produce layers of information that we help the client make sense of. Based on years of research and data collected we can generate base levels of adequate nutrition for each nutrient depending on the crop being produced. It’s not a researcher telling us this – it’s Mother Nature.
This allows us the opportunity to provide what works best. In order to produce high-quality potatoes containing high solids with minimal defects, you need to be precise about the nutrients you are placing and where you are placing them, with respect to soil nutrition and the market you are growing for.
Our approach extends beyond conventional soil sampling. Empowered with state-of-the-art
algorithms and advanced soil health metrics, we utilize site-specific sampling, NDVI imaging, and plant tissue analysis to pro-actively track and maintain crop nutrient levels. Based on these parameters we develop soil maps to allow producers and clients to visually assess and make decisions in real-time.
When they see our technology, growers have typically commented, “Okay, this totally makes sense. This is what I’m seeing from my tractor seat, and these are the areas where my crops are producing the best.”
By tracking soil nutrition and in-season fertility, we can accurately measure the quality of the crop and how the plants are utilizing those nutrients.
Armed with this information, we provide timely support and agronomic advice to ensure that the immediate needs of your crop are addressed before negative impacts occur.
These tools empower farmers to make precise nutrient placements (as opposed to blanketing the whole field) – curbing excessive application and negative environmental impacts.
Get ready – technology is changing how potatoes grow, and we’ll help you harness it.
