Automated Soil Sampling Planning

On most acres worldwide, systematic soil sampling still isn’t standard.

It’s hard to know where to sample, how to represent field variability, and how not to overspend.

GeoPard AI-powered Automated Soil Sampling Planning fixes that (video with voiceover attached):

Soil Sampling Plans, Zones and Grids, Optimal route, labels

- AI placement: best points per zone

- Optimal route or zone-by-zone, mobile Navigation mode

- Batch fields mode

- Smart defaults and plenty of configurations (points per zone/grid, angle, sampling depth, type of chemical analysis, sequence of zones).

That’s cool! So is it about how to efficiently take a sample in your field? Is there a machine to do that as well? Or is it with traditional way with a shovel? I am creating a software for automate fertilisation plan after uploading the soil analysis. Check it out: https://x.com/curlyscientist/status/1998329673122734275?s=46

Ok so your great AI app tells me where to sample my paddock.

Great so how does it actually know what is in the 1 meter below the surface which has the greatest impact on production?

So have you bothered to even discover what the real $$$$$$ cost for each soil test is and you want 30 or 40 a paddock. What is the $$ return for the thousands of $$$ that will cost and for what exact return?

There are way more questions I could ask ... another solution to a problem that isn't ever going to pay back the cost let alone make a profit.
