Detailed Field or Soil Consulting

Detailed Field or Soil Consulting

"Sometimes you may need more in-depth problem soils consulting on your farm or in your horticultural business. Our company staff PhD Agronomist and Soil Scientist can be contacted to make on-site field and soil investigations to determine what factors are limiting your crop yields, and recommend soil remediation or adjustments to nutrient management plans."

This service is useful for farms wanting to raise their crop production to an improved level. These detailed agronomic and soil consultations are billed on hours spent evaluating and developing recommendations for your specific cropping challenges. For example $100/hr for field and consultation work, plus $0.50/km for travel.

Here are examples of soil challenges we have worked on:
  • excess acidity due to low soil pH, and possible liming recommendations
  • salinity affected areas, and ways to reclaim salinized portions of fields
  • excess sodicity limiting water infiltration and crop root growth
  • detailed evaluation of crop requirements for micronutrient applications
  • manure management plans
  • potential benefit of in-crop nutrient applications, e.g. foliar applications based on plant and soil sampling and analysis
  • improving production on eroded portions of fields with low soil organic matter content
If you're interested, give us a call and we can discuss how we can help solve some of your cropping challenges."
