Management Zone Soil Sampling
We divide a field into management zones based on soil type, terrain, crop history, internal features, past yield data and past soil test data. The zones are normally 6-12 acres in size. Each zone is sampled at multiple core sites. Maps include individual management zone acres, soil types with CSR ratings and soil names, fertility layers (ph, p, k, om), and recommendations with total material costs and per acre costs. We will also work with the client’s ag supplier in preparing variable rate recommendation files.

Smart Grids-Grid by Soiltype
This program is unique to regular grid sampling by utilizing digital soil types in the field to determine where the soil sample site will be taken. Instead of pulling the cores in the center of a grid, the sample site area is moved to the most prominent soil type inside each grid. The number of samples taken are the same as grid sampling, but the placement of the sample is more accurate.

Grid Soil Sampling
We provide grid sampling on several size grids, including 2.5, 4.4, and 10 ac grid for manure management plans.

GPS Boundary Measurement
The external field boundary is driven. All internal features such as waterways, terraces, ponds, and non-crop area are measured out. Tile intakes are also mapped as well as crop lines or other boundary features. The map can include an aerial photograph and roads/stream data as background images. We also print whole farm maps showing name, location, and acres of all fields together.

Tile Line Mapping
We measure the field boundary and drive each and every new tile line. This is great information to have on hand for future reference or repairing a damaged line. A map is printed showing the field boundary, location of all tile lines, and feet of each line.
