NuWay-K&H Cooperative offers three classes of in-season soil services:
- Soil Sampling – a typical 2.5-acre grid sample, the results of which your agronomy account manager will use primarily for fertilizer recommendations.
- SoilOptix® – a soil scanner that measures gamma radiation emitting from the soil and maps up to 25 soil properties. It will be able to assist our Agronomy Account Managers and their customers measure a soil’s macronutrients, micronutrients, soil health and physical properties.
- Veris® EC – an electric conductivity test of the soil producing a zone property/mapping system with high density. Your Agronomy Account Manager can then use these maps within the Adapt-N nitrogen model to make more defined recommendations for in-season application. The EC maps produced by this service may also be used to create planting prescriptions.
“In-season sampling gives you ample time to make plans before fall.”
The best time to implement these services is right after crop emergence. That assures more uniform consistency throughout the field. This timing will also give you ample time for making a fertilizer plan before fall. With in-season testing, you’re not waiting for results. You can start your applications as soon as you see fit.
Make sure to reach out to your Agronomy Account Manager or FarmRx to get your orders in before planting, if you can! Just know that we can also take orders as they come in, as long as your crop is not too tall.
