Testimonials

Using Western Ag’s soil sampling, I found that the crops did improve but what I have saved is on my fertilizer input. In certain areas I don’t have to apply a certain product so it is like putting money in my pocket.  The sampling also warns me about red flags: micronutrients or anything else that I should add.

 

A lot of people would probably be very hesitant about following the recommendations – like not putting sulphur on their canola. I have done it two or three times and have consistent results.

 

Last year was probably my highest return on the sampling that we did. I had above average yields with below average fertilizer requirements.  I have been using Western Ag’s soil sampling system since about 2005.  It worked every time for me. Try it for yourself.

I heard about Western Ag’s technology when I was in university taking a soil science class. I was impressed with it at the time but not farming yet. This is my fourth year using the Western Ag technology. After the first year, there was no looking back. I sample all 850 acres.

 

I had tried traditional soil sampling but there is just so much more power with the Western Ag system. It really lets you fine tune and is extremely consistent and accurate.

 

I don’t hesitate to say that it has been working for me and why I like it. I believe in the product.

Haydon Rice – Asquith, Saskatchewan

 

When I started testing the whole farm with Western Ag and following their recommendations, I saw big variations in fertility from field to field but fairly consistent yield across the farm with widely varying amounts of applied fertilizer.

 

I have been able to grow more grain with the same amount of fertilizer but the fertilizer gets distributed differently than it used to. I used to put a blanket on the whole farm but now I am putting widely different rates on different fields using the same amount of fertilizer or a little more, but seeing better yield response.

 

I would say, number one if you are not soil testing, soil test. If you are soil testing, give the Western Ag analysis a trial. I have used the lab continuously since 2007 and been happy with the results.
