It's super quick:
- Create an account - no card details required, just add your email and accept the T&Cs.
- Add an SBI number so we can extract your field boundaries. If you’re in Scotland or Wales simply upload a shapefile or select your fields from the map – no drawing round fields!
- Sit back and relax whilst the relevant soil and environmental data for your fields is scraped from our database.
Our platform uses your field boundaries (retrieved from your SBI number) to pre-populate your farm with nearly all of the information required to complete a Soil, Manure or Nutrient Management Plan or a Spray Rec.
Yes! Please book a call to arrange a 30 minute demo.
The background data we use to drive our platform is currently restricted to England, Scotland and Wales.
If you are a farmer or agronomist outside of Great Britain and are interested in using our tools, please book a call and we can discuss expanding our coverage to your location.
Its completely free to start using Soil Benchmark.
Without paying a penny you can add as many farms as you like, and use almost all the features of the platform. That could be viewing and editing the pre-populated risk maps, soil maps, details of waterways and sensitive areas, and auto-suggested management actions in Soil Sage mode. Or getting RB209 nutrient recommendations, planning manure or fertiliser applications, and checking NVZ compliance in Nutrient Nerd mode. Or creating - and checking the legality of pesticide spray recommendations in Crop Rex mode.
We only charge to export or share this information outside the platform (either via our reports, or via our map snapshot feature). Our main two reporting modes (Soil Sage and Nutrient Nerd) each cost £200 per farm per year to upgrade:
- Soil Sage allows you to create and export fully compliant Soil Management Plans for SFI SAM1 – worth £6 / ha
- Nutrient Nerd allows you to create and export fully compliant Nutrient Management Plans, for SFI NUM1, Environment Agency inspections, or Red Tractor compliance
You only pay when you are ready, and you can choose to convert any number of the farms you have loaded onto the system, for only the plans you require.
Discounts are automatically applied on Soil Sage for very small farms, scaling down to £100 per farm per year for the smallest farms.
We also offer a discounted rates of £150/farm for agronomists, advisors and contract farmers looking to upgrade multiple farms. Please book a call or get in touch if you would think you qualify for this discount.
Crop Rex (with the ability to create and share spray recommendations) is currently free until 31st July while it's in beta-testing mode, and then will cost £500 per user per year to create Spray Recs for unlimited farms.
