Precision Soil Analysis
The various soil types and variety produce that can be grown have unique nutrient needs and therefore require different management techniques when it comes to fertilizing. Years of continuous fertilizing without monitoring the soil composition to identify the deficiencies and surpluses can lead to imbalances of soil elements and have an effect on harvests yielded. > READ MORE

Farm Surveying
Having a farm map can be a very useful tool. The correct calculation of arable land (hectares) helps with cost effective fertiliser, seed and pesticide control inputs. Once camp size is determined, the camp’s optimal grazing capabilities can also be calculated and thereby resulting in the correct control of livestock numbers and prevention of overgrazing. > READ MORE
