Falcon Soil Released updated sampling system in USA

Falcon Soil Technology has added new mapping and live sampling tracking features to the Model 5000 Automated Sampling System. For the first time, soil samplers can collect, map and share soil sample information within the same system.

 

In the fast paced world of highly automated GPS monitored farm equipment, Falcon’s focus is to end the days of time-consuming, labor-intensive, tedious soil sample collections. Falcon Soil helps in collecting high quality soil samples with unsurpassed precision, consistency and efficiency. The new capabilities add mapping features and live sample tracking on the go within one system. The new software features will allow for faster preparation of fields utilizing existing shape files of grids and zones. The increased visibility of sampling progress on the go, increases productivity, reduces opportunities for mistakes and missed samples and allows growers to keep the soil nutrient information current and part of the essential data model world.

 

The new features are exclusive to the Model 5000 users who will now have the ability to import field maps into their cab directly from a cloud account. The customer controls the sample information flow to field management software and soil labs directly from the field. “Capabilities that reduce the collection time and removes variables that can affect the sample quality and consistency is what we are committed to”, states Allan Baucom, Monroe, NC farmer and developer of the Falcon. “As a farmer, I need soil sampling to be consistent, accurate and precise to manage my inputs and optimize profitability.”

 

The new released software is available for all Falcon Automated Soil Sampling owners and it will be standard on all new machines. Full feature capabilities will require operators to setup an account on the Falcon Link system. Upgrade kits are available for Model 1000 machines that would allow owners to add all Model 5000 features and access the Falcon Link system.
