Are you capturing your field's true potential?

The Veris Mobile Sensor Platform (M.S.P.) is a great starting block or addition to your precision platform.  The Veris utilizes a soil electrical conductivity (EC) member, pH electrodes as well as a GPS system to map out (down to the foot) the specific soil type, elevtion and pH levels in your field.  All of these elements can affect your field and reduce revenue per acre.  Having this specific data allows individual producers to make better decisions and take fewer chances when investing in their crops.

Features:
·         Minimal investment
·         Equipment design allows for minimal soild disturbance
·         Covers 35 acres per hour
·         Better pH representation (compared to grid sampling)

Benefits:
·         Provides base layer for precision management
·         Minimal soil disturbance (excellent for no-till)
·         Assists with zone management decisions
·         Helps in determining high and low yield areas
·         Make prescriptions based on zones
·         Determines variable seeding rates
·         Determines placement of crop nutrients
·         Saves money by sampling soil in correct areas

MKC will provide professional map books and interpretation of the maps to assist you in your decision making process.  For more information about the Veris M.S.P. program, contact your nearest MKC location.
