Ohio Country Journal recently wrote an article titled, Layers of sustainability for a better fiuture in which it discussed the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification Program. An important part of the program is soil sampling.
We were honored to provide some additional insights on the importance of HD Soil Sampling. You can read the full story here.
"Some of the tools we use to improve environmental stewardship are high-density soil sampling in half-acre grids or less, data analytics to determine best management practices emphasizing environmental impact, multi-layer variable rate prescriptions, and high-density scouting using artificial intelligence, said Dave Scheiderer, CCA, and CFO of Integrated Ag Services (IAS). "With the increase in weed resistance, we use new technologies such as AI scouting for alternative methods of weed control. These practices can make a big difference on farms. With the recent spikes in fertilizer prices, for example, many farmers turned to agribusinesses like IAS to help more efficiently manage their nutrients."
