Soil Sampling Maximizes Your Fertility Investment

Combine Soil Test and Yield Data for Accurate Prescriptions

Soil sampling increases fertility investment return by minimizing input costs. We combine soil test data, yield estimates and individual management practices to create customized one-pass applicator prescriptions with the correct amount of fertilizer, saving you money on the fertilizer and time in the field.

Advanced Ag Solutions works with each farmer to build a customized fertility program that works to accomplish their goals, while advising on generally accepted agronomic principles. We work diligently to stay educated about new practices and provide guidance when requested.



Based on feedback from our clients we have revamped our color scheme for all soil fertility management maps. Now, instead of a default color code picked by the computer, you can read the map and understand “good”, “bad”, “caution” and “great” in regards to pH, phosphorus and potassium. We have also color coded various soil types with heavier, darker dirt being a brown color. Similarly, the highly erodible slopes are oranges and reds and the outwash soils are blue with some grays and other earth tones mixed in. In this way, we can quickly see where the best dirt is, know something about the slope visually, and make an assessment of pattern changes in fertility and applications.

On top of all of these changes, have revamped the software background equations used to formulate recommendations. We are very flexible in the type of sampling, be it soil type, grid or some other management zone… the key being the smallest and most effective management unit for your particular goals. We’ve also been able to integrate the yield component of the various soil types. That’s right, now you can use your yield monitor data OR the underlying soil’s yield coefficient to target replacement and application rates for fertilizer. This change inherently affects how much goes where. This unique approach is a huge improvement over the industry standard.



Check out our newest web tool! This web tool allows you to play around with various soil fertility levels, yield levels and critical test levels that YOU determine for YOUR farm. This process should help you understand the implications of various criteria on your cost and fertility tolerances.
