If you are looking to understand more about your field variability and identify production zones for soil testing, pre-plant nitrogen, lime or gypsum applications, seeding rates etc. then our Rapid-EM™ and STACK maps can help you to identify these.
Rapid-EM™
An autonomous soil electrical conductivity mapping solution that provides detailed information about soil type and soil properties to enable variable rate (VR) soil improvement applications.
EM measures soil types using a non-contact machine which measures 0.50m and 1.2m down into the soil profile. When combined with soil test data, we obtain a holistic picture of soil factors such as salts, water, and clay content.
The unit easily installs behind vehicles (in the towball hitch) and automatically logs data when moving around your paddocks and displays in the cab in real time (see images below). A key feature is that the RapidEM™ sends the data to the ‘cloud’, avoiding the need to shift data manually using USB’s, etc. The data is fully integrated into our Digital Agronomist™ online platform.
To order a machine email support@datafarming.com.
STACK Maps
Our STACK product allows you to combine multiple years of satellite imagery to define production zones. It converts directly into a prescription map so you can variably apply soil ameliorants such as lime and gypsum. This product is offered as 'pay as you go' with Basic or Advanced subscriptions, or you can run unlimited STACK maps with a Pro Subscription.
To learn how to use the STACK tool, see our article on Creating STACK Maps. To learn more about our subscription options see our Pricing page.
