Grid Sampling
Western Farm Services' Grid Sampling Report is a powerful tool for today's agriculture. Using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, a field is GPS mapped and systematically soil sampled. Samples are taken on a 1, 2.5 or 5 acre grid. Mapping software is then utilized to display field variability on a printed report. The result is a comprehensive report showing nutrient deficiencies and suffices, acidity and alkalinity, salt load and a reflection of the soil's water holding capacity. This vital information can impact farm/field management decisions and help improve your economic efficiency. Field maps are constructed with tabular results for each soil parameter tested. Summary statistics are given for quick review and for assessing the conditions for a variety of soil parameters measured. Each soil parameter is also mapped on separate pages for easy evaluation and interpretation.
