The soil is the foundation of equine and livestock production. Soil testing determines the level of fertility of the land allowing you to fertilise accordingly, accurately, and cost-effectively. When the soil health is within the optimal conditions landowners can maximise yield and quality. Maintenance of correct soil pH and mineral balance is critical to gain access to the available nutrients in the soil and any applied nutrients. This balance is disrupted annually through drainage water, runoff, grazing and the removal of grass for forage. The initiative behind this testing is to decrease cost per annum to both the equine and farming industry targeting fertiliser and lime application to poorer areas of the land.
