You need to provide us with initial historical farm management data, following that our experts will handle the remaining steps of the process.

We carry out annual Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and Bulk Density (BD) tests, in addition to carbon modeling, to acquire a comprehensive spectrum of data. Samples are collected at a depth of 12 to 20 inches for BD and 12 inches for SOC each year, ensuring an exceptionally precise carbon measurement. This entire process comes at no expense to you.
