How Soil Testing Works

How It Works

Knowing the DNA makeup of your soil and what that means for you is simpler than you think.  Knowing the chemistry and biology of your soil gives you the ability to save large amounts of money on fertility costs.  Here's exactly what happens from the moment you request your test to the day we walk you through your results.

Process

1) Request your test

Tell us about your operation, the fields you want tested, and what you're growing next year. We will walk you through any questions you have.

2) Pull and send your samples

You will need to collect 12 - 8" cores from your desired field using a soil probe. The cores go into a poly-lined bag and should be labeled with farm name, field name, and ID. A mailing label will be provided via our portal.

3) We analyze everything!

Once it reaches our lab, we take it from there.  We will analyze the nutrient levels, PH, salt levels, micro-nutrient levels, and the fungi, bacteria, and pathogens in your soil.

4) Get your results and a real conversation

Results are received within a few weeks. Because the analysis runs in stages, some of your report may arrive sooner than the rest. Once it's complete, one of our team members will call you personally to walk through what your soil analysis is saying in plain language, and what it means for your fields and fertility recommendations.

What's Next?

On your results call, we talk through what your soil actually needs, and if it makes sense for your operation, which of our biological solutions can help rebuild what's missing. There's never any obligation. But most farmers find that once they can finally see what's happening in their ground, the next step is obvious.
