Soil Sampling
Soil sampling is a key service we provide to help you make informed decisions before seeding and after harvest. Our team collects precise, representative soil samples from your fields to assess nutrient levels, soil health, and overall fertility. Once the sampling is complete, we deliver clear, easy-to-understand results along with tailored recommendations to optimize your crop performance for the upcoming season. Whether you’re preparing to plant or evaluating post-harvest conditions, our soil sampling ensures you have the insights needed to improve yield potential and maintain long-term soil productivity.
It all begins with a soil test. To maximize the genetic potential of your crop and to get the most from your fertility budget, you need to know a few things:
• What level of nutrients are in the soil?
• How much of each nutrient is required to achieve your target yield?
• How to implement a full season nutrient management plan to address deficiencies and imbalances within the soil?
Soil testing is the foundation of a sound agronomic plan. The International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) maintains that on average we achieve only 20% of the genetic yield potential with our major crops. In what other scenario would we be satisfied with that return? We know that using proper plant nutrition can positively influence 60% of a crop's genetic yield potential. To close this yield gap, we can invest in the latest seed genetics, but to extract the maximum value we need to use the most powerful tool available – a soil fertility program based on soil testing. Surveys reveal that only 34% of fields in North America are soil tested annually for the single nutrient - Nitrogen and only 25% of the fields have a complete (macronutrient and micronutrient) analysis done.
Knowing what nutrients are in your soil is fundamental in determining what to invest in, to drive productivity. Today, for a number of reasons, less than 34% of the fields are tested annually for Nitrogen and less than 25% of the fields have a complete (macro and micros) analysis performed on them.

360 Field Nutrient Package
Ask about our CSI 360 Field Nutrient Program delivers a complete, season-long approach to understanding and optimizing your crop’s nutrient needs. The program begins with a comprehensive soil test to establish a strong foundation for fertility planning. Throughout the growing season, we follow up with two in-season tissue samples that provide real-time insight into how your plants are actually responding to field and weather conditions. With instant results and actionable recommendations, you can make timely, data-driven decisions that correct deficiencies before they affect yield. By combining soil and tissue analysis into a continuous feedback system, the 360 Field Nutrient Program empowers you to maximize crop performance, protect your investment, and maintain long-term field health.
