Summer soil sampling 2019

BCG is undertaking soil sampling again in 2019. 

The benefits of soil sampling include:

  • establishing the current nutrient status of your soil to provide the basis for future strategies
  • indicate the ameliorants required to correct a soil’s possible physical and chemical property imbalances
  • identify factors that may be limiting crop and pasture production
  • improved farm profitability through efficient soil fertility management
  • assists in the planning process through improved budgeting of farm financial resources
  • with some areas receiving large rainfall totals during December, soil testing can help to prepare your nitrogen and phosphorus budgets to allow you to make the most of stored sub-soil moisture.
