Soil health & organic carbon mapping
The numbers that change slowly — and matter most over ten seasons.
Organic carbon, texture, calcium, magnesium, sulphur and micronutrients, mapped across the farm, give a baseline for long-term soil improvement.
Available now · quoted per farmWhy it matters
Organic matter holds water and nutrients and feeds soil life. Continuous cropping without returning organic matter runs it down, and yields drift down with it. Texture decides how often you need to irrigate and how fast nutrients leach.
These are the slow numbers. A baseline map lets you see whether manure, compost, cover crops and reduced tillage are actually working.
Method
How we do it
- 1
Sample by block
Geo-tagged samples from each management block.
- 2
Laboratory analysis
Organic carbon, texture and nutrient panel.
- 3
Map and plan
Results mapped and turned into a multi-season improvement plan.
From finding to action
What the results change on the farm
Typical examples of how a finding turns into a decision.
| If the survey finds… | …the decision is |
|---|---|
| Low organic carbon on long-cropped blocks | Manure, compost or cover crops targeted to those blocks first |
| Sandy block with low water holding | Shorter, more frequent irrigation and organic matter additions |
When to order it
- As a baseline on new land
- When moving to regenerative or organic practices
- For carbon or sustainability reporting
Questions
Soil health & organic carbon mapping: FAQ
How often should soil health be re-mapped?
Every two to four years. These properties change slowly, which is why a baseline matters.
