Soil Sampling Provides Valuable Information
Regular Soil Sampling Increases Odds of Better Decisions
Although soil testing and regular sampling improve your capacity to manage cropland productivity, they are not the soul answer to fertilizer decisions.
"What?" you ask. Indeed, it may sound strange coming from a company that provides GPS soil sampling on 2.5 acre grids, soil type zones, Veris & yield map zones and more... but if you take a moment and read on, you'll discover that you too believe in these methods. It's simply a matter of intensity of management.
It is not clear who first coined the term, "Smallest Mangeable Unit" but we are a firm believer in this mentality. The idea behind this concept is that why sample, measure or pay for information in smaller units than you can effectively and profitably manage? The great challenge here, then lies in what can you manage?
We work with each farmer to build a customized fertility program that works to accomplish YOUR goals, while advising on generally accepted agronomic principles. We work diligently to stay educated about new practices (several CCA's are involved) and provide guidance when requested. However, we are not positioned to "sell" you on a new system of gadgets or methods. Again, we're here to help you grow your business.
Ok, off the soap box. We are technologically equipped, well-trained, responsive (i.e. quick) and can provide soil management Rx for your broadcast, manual variable rate, or multi-product VRT recommendations anywhere in the Midwest. Send an email to info@AdvancedAgSolutions.com to get a quote on your soil fertility management challenge. We'll work to free you up to better run your farm.
