Physical soil testing is the only way to get a true understanding of the levels of carbon and nutrients in your soil. By knowing where you are starting from, we can work with you to maximise the value in your land.
Since 2018 it has been a legal requirement to test all arable soils for basic nutrients every 5 years. Standard soil analysis can also provide huge benefits when looking at variable rate application of expensive inputs, and help uncover insights to improve farm profitability.
Basic soil testing is essential in helping farmers start to better understand their soil. But there are many other trace elements that impact the soils health and performance. We test for 13 trace elements to allow a more comprehensive understanding of what lies beneath.
Carbon credits have become something of a buzzword in farming recently. Whilst many schemes will promise excellent returns based online carbon modelling alone, physical testing is the only way to truly understand how much carbon you are sequestering, giving you and your carbon purchaser peace of mind.
PCN (Potato Cyst Nematode) can have a significant impact on the yield of your potato crop, and in areas of high infestation it can be unviable to grow potatoes at all.
Soil Sampling is an important part of a PCN management strategy, helping you understand numbers, species and hotspots of Nematodes in the field.
Many alternative income schemes available to farmers require a degree of measurement, from soil testing, cover crop monitoring, hedgerow assessments or tree counting, adding extra tasks to famers already-too-long to-do lists. We can help design a monitoring programme that ensures you are compliant with your chosen scheme, freeing you up to get back to farming.
