Soil Sampling the RightWay
Save $106.24/ac on fertilizer
Problem
Farmers are paying for fertilizer that is wasted, causing environmental issues, and hurting profitability.
Solution
RightWay uses a superior soil test that identifies how much fertilizer is needed by properly measuring available nutrients.
Why Continuum Ag
On average, RightWay users reduce 45 units of N, 16 units of P, and 105 units of K while maintaining yields.
How is RightWay Different from Traditional Sampling?
Unlike traditional soil sampling, RightWay measures both organic and inorganic nutrients, which provides a complete understanding of how much plant available NPK is in your soil. By understanding all available nutrients, our customers are confident in cutting their fertilizer rates to a level that will still achieve maximum yields. RightWay soil sampling prevents farmers from over applying (and wasting money on) fertilizer that is never used by the plant.
What is Our Method?
Using data layers of soil type, slope, elevation, and crop suitability rating, we run an in-field variability analysis on your farm to form 10 acre zones. From these zones, we take a representative sample, and send it to the lab for Haney Testing. The Haney Test uses an extractant that mimics the natural process of root exudates extracting nutrients from the soil. The Haney Test also measures biological activity in the soil. RightWay soil sampling, utilizing our zone creation process and Haney testing, provides growers with lower, more accurate fertilizer recommendations, saving them money while maintaining yield.
What’s included?
- A spatial analysis of your field and computer-generated zones to depict variability. Average zone size is 10-acres but can be adjusted as requested.
- On-site soil sampling and shipment to soil lab.
- Maps on TopSoil showing soil data. Lab results are also available upon request in an excel spreadsheet with a clear explanation of measured items.
- Custom variable rate fertilizer recommendations via TopSoil. Work with your TopSoil representative to make fertilizer edits before exporting the recommendations in shapefile format.
