Soil Services
Soil is a finite resource and the basis of agriculture and food production. The priority for all farmers must be to conserve and improve soils for future generations.
Livestock and crops rely on soils to provide nutrition for healthy growth and development. Soil also supports many other wider eco-system services, providing a habitat for micro-organisms, filtering fresh water supplies and storing carbon.
We can help you to improve your soil husbandry practices whether part of a livestock or cropping enterprise. Our soil analysis services provide an easy to follow soil management plan which will aim to improve the physical, chemical and biological health of the soils on your farm.
We have listed just some of our soil services below, but please call, or email: advice@abacusagri.com to discuss your own specific requirements.
