Sample Collection
I can collect soil and manure samples as required by permit and submit to the University of Georgia Labs for analysis.

It is extremely important to calibrate your equipment annually to ensure you are applying proper application rates according to your NMP. I can calibrate center pivots, cable tow liquid applicators, big gun hared hose traveling guns, and solid manure spreaders.

Groundwater monitoring wells
Farms with over 1000 animal units are required to take ground monitoring well samples, I can collect those for you and deliver straight to the lab for analysis.

When it comes to inspections well organized good quality records are key to keep your inspection quick and simple. I can collect all of the required information needed for your inspection, calculate manure nutrient application and organize everything to make your inspection go seamlessly.
