Nutrient Soil Tests
Get detailed, localized information on your farm’s nutrient levels, pH balance, and other essential plant growth factors with our Nutrient Soil Tests.
We provide results within 24 hours so you can take immediate, specific action for fertilizer application, crop selection, and correct micronutrient deficiencies.
Updating your soil management practices will optimize yields and give your farm long-term sustainability.
| Product | Price |
|---|---|
| Chemical Soil Test | $5.00/sample |
| Grid of 9 samples | $40.00 |
| Grid of 16 samples | $70.00 |
Note: Grids can be split across multiple fields but we recommend at least 4-5 samples per field to generate a high quality heat map of nutrient distribution.
We can also do more traditional composite samples – combining multiple samples from around the property or field before analysis to get a general idea of soil nutrient content- but this method provides far less useful information for our clients.
Chemical Soil Tests
Our soil tests provide information regarding nutrient levels, pH balance, and essential plant growth information. We deliver results within 24 hours from sample collection.
Make informed decisions regarding fertilizer application, crop selection, and soil management practices to optimize yields and ensure sustainable agricultural practices.

| Chemical Soil Test | $5.00/sample |
| Grid of 9 samples | $40.00 |
| Grid of 16 samples | $70.00 |
Note: grids can be split across multiple fields, though we recommend at least 4-5 samples per field to generate a high quality heat map of nutrient distribution. We can also do composite samples, where we take multiple samples from around the property or field and combine them before analysis to get a general idea of soil nutrient content. While this is a more traditional approach to soil chemical testing, it does not necessarily provide the most useful information.
Fertilizer Nutrient Quantification
Our Fertilizer Nutrient Quantification process lets you ensure that your fertilizers are providing the specific nutrients your plants require.
Our precise measurement process identifies the pH, available nitrate, and available phosphorus in any solid or liquid fertilizer sample so you can always feed your crops exactly what they need to thrive.
| Product | Price |
|---|---|
| Solid/Liquid pH Test | $5.00/sample |
| Solid/Liquid Nitrate Test | $5.00/sample |
| Solid/Liquid Phosphate Test | $5.00/sample |
| Triple Test (9 samples total) | $25.00 |
Note: Since the nutrients in solid fertilizers & compost are not necessarily mixed evenly, our Triple Test includes 9 tests total to get the best results.
Drone Scans
A Data Farms drone scan gives you a top-down (bird’s-eye?) view of your farm and lets you track germination rates, crop growth, weed pressure, and heat/drought stress at a glance.
Our high quality multi-spectral drone technology allows you to monitor crop health and water movement, even in hard-to-access areas. You can choose to monitor your entire farm or to highlight specific areas that need close attention and we will work with you to schedule your scan for maximum benefit for your crops.
Drone scans include:
- Elevation scans (LIDAR)
- Vegetation indices
- NVDI – health & density of vegetation
- GNDVI – photosynthetic activity
- NDRE – pests & deficiencies
- LCI – leaf chlorophyll activity
- OSAVI – sparse plants
| Scan Area | Price |
|---|---|
| < 5 Acres | $250/scan |
| 5 – 30 Acres | $500/scan |
| 30 – 100 Acres | $1000/scan |
| 100 – 500 Acres | $5000/scan |
| > 500 Acres | Get in touch! |
Weather Stations
Our waterproof weather stations provide insights about your farm’s atmospheric conditions every 10 minutes, allowing you to make informed, on-the-spot, decisions regarding irrigation, crop management, and pest control.
With highly localized information about precipitation, air temperature, air humidity, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation, and leaf wetness, we can calculate detailed information about how fast the water in your soil is evaporating, and how favorable weather conditions are for certain pests and diseases to thrive.
Our microclimate monitoring allows you to be responsive to the direct needs of your crops instead of estimating from standard weather data.
| Product | Price |
|---|---|
| Weather Station (purchase) | $5000 |
| Weather Station (Lease-to-own) | $1200/year OR $100/month |
| Annual Subscription | $1000/year |
| Monthly Subscription | $125/month (seasonal) |
Note: Weather stations include an installation kit: tripod or mounting pole, ground spikes, bird spikes, mounting hardware, and zip ties, as well as detailed instructions for installing your station.
