πŸ“£πŸš¨ Calling all grassland advisors, agronomists and farmers πŸ„ πŸ‘ β€” help shape the future of nutrient planning.

πŸ” PLEASE SHARE with anyone who should be there.

🧠 We’re co-hosting three half-day workshops with Niab over the next couple of weeks to test-drive our brand new Nutrient Navigator β€” a map-based, pre-populated tool to make compliant nutrient plans quickly and easily.

🌱 Our previous workshop at Yeo Valley HQ showed we were on the right track. Now we’re running three more with the completed platform β€” your chance to make sure it works the way you need it to, and suggest improvements directly to the dev team before it's full release on 18th August.

πŸ—“ The George Hotel Penrith | Wed 6 Aug – https://lnkd.in/eUiH-8ix
πŸ—“ Darts Farm, Exeter | Tue 12 Aug – https://lnkd.in/eVXtRpYE
πŸ—“ Sparsholt College Group, Hampshire | Wed 13 Aug - https://lnkd.in/ema24JZN

‍
🎟️ Free to attend ( πŸ‘ Innovate UK) + proper lunch included πŸ˜‹ (see pic below of lunch after the last workshop). Most importantly, they're a chance to influence the tool and make sure it works for you.

If you’re new to us: Soil Benchmark are an agronomy software platform. We launched in November 2023 offering Soil Management Plans for SFI. Our platform (https://lnkd.in/ekMfrq3p) is now used on 10.8% of England’s farmland, we've added Manure Management Plans, and Nutrient Management completes the set 🧩.

🧠 What makes it different?
🌍 Key inputs pre-loaded: soil type, rainfall, and elevation are automatically built in.
♻️ Existing info reused: cropping, soil samples, and spreading events are carried over.
🧾 Drag-and-drop soil samples: our AI importer reads and tags them, no manual entry.
⚑ Intuitive field inputs: easily add grazing/silage sequences or arable sowing dates.
βš™οΈ Live recs as you tweak: see RB209-based nutrient plans update instantly.
🧩 Multi-field editing: update multiple fields at once, with bespoke recs for each.
πŸ“‹ Compliant reports in one click: export clear plans for Environment Agency, Rural Payments Agency, or Red Tractor.

We'd love to see you in Penrith, Exeter, or HampshireπŸ‘‰ Sign up above β€” and please share.
