WHAT YOU GET FROM THE VICKERY BROS. AGRONOMY SERVICE

Soil Sampling and Analysis 

Vickery Bros. will take your samples and send to labs accredited with NATA and ASPAC for analysis.  From this they create a fertiliser program tailored to your farm and budget requirements.  Top and deep samples are georeferenced to enable repeat sampling in future years.

Tissue Samples

Vickery Bros. can tissue test for all crop and pasture for diagnostic/troubleshooting or monitoring of broadacre crops, pastures and horticulture.  Vickery Bros. not only take the samples but provide a reliable recommendation and follow up service.

Farm Maps

Vickery Bros. can create a detailed map of your farm highlighting paddocks with accurate areas and landmarks, e.g. sheds, fences, dams.  This is great for farmers and contractors ensuring that the right job gets done in the correct paddock!
