For ag retailers, soil testing is essential—but it can also be a headache. Between collecting samples, sending them to the lab, waiting for results, and manually entering data into multiple systems, the process takes time, effort, and resources. And when results take too long, retailers risk missing sales opportunities and frustrating customers.
What if your lab partner could eliminate the hassle and add more value? Farmers Edge Laboratories is built for ag retailers—offering fast results, seamless tech integrations, and – for a limited time – free digital scouting tools to help you deliver better service without extra work.
The Common Challenges of Soil Testing for Retailers:
- Slow Lab Turnaround: Waiting for results means lost sales and missed recommendations.
- Manual Data Entry: Wasting time inputting test results into multiple systems.
- Limited Value: Labs provide raw numbers, but not always the insights to act on them.
- Disjointed Process: Managing soil testing, agronomy software, and customer recommendations separately.
What to Look for in a Soil Lab Partner
Not all labs are designed for ag retailers. Choose a partner that offers more than just test results—look for a lab that adds value to your business:
- Fast Turnaround – Get results in days, not weeks, to keep customers engaged.
- FREE Add-ons – Gain access to complimentary tools to enhance your services
- Technical Capability – Ensure soil results can be managed digitally or connected directly to your agronomy platform
- Retailer-Focused Support – Work with a lab that understands your business and helps you serve your customers better.
