Automated, intensive, and independent soil sampling

Soil sampling has a long history of improving crop productivity. As early as the 1800s, farmers and scientists began testing for certain nutrients in soils. Research, largely led by US universities, brought us the scientific sampling and analysis we know today.

With this information from the land, farmers could start supplementing fertility based on nutrients available in the soil. The equipment currently used in sampling is effective and has not changed much since the 1940s. The hand auger comes in various designs, each with its own modification and benefits.

Challenges mainly relate to the use of the equipment, not the equipment itself.
