The traditional 4Rs have helped guide nutrient stewardship for years. But there’s an important step that comes before the Right Source, Right Rate, Right Time and Right Place: ​

The Right Sample. 🌱 ​

As fall fertility planning gets underway, quality soil sampling can provide the reliable data you and your agronomist need to make more informed decisions about where your fertilizer dollars go. ​

Make sure the first R gives you a strong starting point. https://bit.ly/3W3fVmP

Nothing's scarier than spending blind on fertilizer — but if you're skipping soil samples, that's exactly what you're doing.​

Without strong sampling data, you're gambling with a considerable portion of your investment. If you grow corn, for instance, fertilizer accounts for 33% to 44% of your operating cost. Sounds scary, but with consistent, quality sampling, there's nothing to be afraid of. Find out how SoilView can help you set up your own sampling program.

"Soil sampling makes up a very, very small, less than a percent — probably less than 1/3 of a percent — of your total input cost if you were spreading that over a four-year period. So for a very small investment, you're able to make much better decisions." ​

Operations Manager Matt Struve dives into how soil sampling can help growers make efficient decisions heading into the 2027 season. Dive in with him!

Fall Soil Sampling Helps Farmers Skip The Guesswork On Nutrient Needs Across The Field

Ahead of one of our busiest months of the year, our new and returning samplers spent time in the classroom and the field preparing to deliver the SoilView standard. Training covered everything from understanding our services and why quality sampling matters to safe equipment handling and hands-on practice following SoilView sampling protocols.​

It all helps prepare our team to provide consistent, quality sampling acre after acre. Thanks to everyone who put in the time to prepare for another busy season!

Have you acquired some farmland? You may be sitting on hidden savings — and soil samples can help you cash in.​

The reason? Section 180 of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows farmers to declare tax deductions on the residual soil fertility of their recently purchased or inherited land. It works like this: ​

Acquire land → Quickly conduct soil tests to determine the value of residual nutrients in that land → Deduct that value from taxes → Save. ​

Learn how you can take full advantage of Section 180. https://bit.ly/3TiZ7HL

You know what's even scarier than the cost of soil sampling? Not making the most out of 90% of your acres.​

Yes, 90%. The numbers show that without quality soil data, your fertilizer investment could be misplaced on 9 out of every 10 acres. That's a whole lot of missed opportunity — but with strong, consistent soil sampling, you get the information you need to make the most profitable agronomic decisions in every field. Ready for the horror show to end? Learn how to build your own soil sampling program with SoilView!
