Fertilizer inputs are among the greatest costs for many crops. Guessing what your fertilizer needs are can result in expensive over-applications or yield limiting under-applications. Our soil testing and fertility planning services go well beyond taking samples and providing you generic N, P, K, and S application rate recommendations.
We begin our fertility planning process by collecting high quality georeferenced SOIL SAMPLES. We pay special attention in taking quality soil samples which are representative of your fields and handling these samples carefully to avoid contamination and other processes which may lead to erroneous representations of your soil’s nutrition and health.
After receiving soil test results we work with our clients to build FERTILITY PLANS that are tailor-made for your farming practices and production objectives. Using cropping history, soil test results, and your production targets we build fertilizer plans that work with your application equipment availability, fertilizer source options, and application timing preferences.
Where do you go when your crop is sick? The availability of qualified forensic agrologists in Saskatchewan is limited. Our clients for forensic services have included farmers, insurance companies, law firms, manufacturing companies and various other groups. We specialize in diagnosing any agronomic issues including but not limited to:
Seed and fertilizer have become extremely expensive. Variable rate fertilizer and seed applications allows producers a better way to make these expensive product applications more efficient and effective. Using SWAT MAPS, we provide soil zone maps reflecting differences in soil conductivity, topography, soil moisture, and texture. Working closely with our clients we create variable rate prescriptions that fit your farming practices while making better use of crop inputs.
“We’ve been working with Larry and Field Good Agronomics for over 25 years. We find tremendous value in their program. From their variable rate fertility and seed mapping to crop, weed and insect scouting, it’s given us the time and opportunity to focus on managing and growing our farm profitably. We strongly believe in adapting to new technology and are happy to have Field Good anxious to grow and evolve with us.”
