 Grid Soil Sampling
We can sample any grid size, at any
depth, for any nutrient. We join the soil nutrient values from the soil lab
to the sample location so that you have a one step import process.

 Geo-Referenced Composite Sampling
Composite sampling can be improved by
creating a soil map using soil mapping by electrical conductivity technology to increase the accuracy of NRCS
soil maps. Soil core collection is predetermined to field collection by the
EC map for a representative sampling procedure. Core collection is
geo-referenced so when the field is re-sampled the cores are collected in
the same spots in the field.

 Conventional Composite Sampling
This is the original type of sampling
done when nutrient testing became a management tool years ago. Like parts of
a field, whole field, or even the whole farm is sampled, the soil cores are mixed together and a composite is then sent for analysis. Obviously, the resulting answer will only be an average.

 Manure Management Plan (MMP) Sampling
Soil sampling for MMPs can be completed
in two different fashions, based on needs and location. Requirements for MMPs state that the soil sample areas should be 10 acres or less. MISS can
sample by 10 acre grids or 10 acre composites, whichever is most applicable
for your area.

 Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) Sampling
We can sample by any grid size, composite, or hot spot checks where SCN is most likely. The array of options let you create a program to fill your clients needs.
