🍂 It’s that time of year again when plans start being pulled together for NVZ, Farming Rules for Water, SFI, Red Tractor and more. If you’re an agronomist or farm advisor, you’ll know just how much time this can take over the next few months.
At Soil Benchmark we’ve been busy building easy-to-use tools to get these jobs sorted as quickly and painlessly as possible:
🪱 Soil Sage - everything you need for SAM1 in 5 minutes, from pre-populated risk maps, auto-generated proposals, to an AI importer for mapping your soil sample results. All pulled together into a single, professional report.
💩 Manure Maestro – automatic spreading maps, livestock & manure application records, NVZ/FRfW limits all calculated instantly.
🧪 Nutrient Navigator – quickly turn soil samples into RB209-compliant nutrient management plans, with drag-and-drop importing and pre-loaded soils, rainfall & elevation data.
🐛 Crop Rex – coming soon, a new way to build spray recommendations, with not just legality checking, but automated LERAP maps and more.
🚀 Since launching in late 2023, farms covering almost exactly 1 million hectares (11% of England’s farmland) have signed up. 📊 Whoever adds the farm that takes us past the 1 million milestone will get a free upgrade of their choice (worth £200). Could it be you? Head to plan.soilbenchmark.com to add a farm...

I'm going to be running through the latest updates, answering questions, and giving the first sneak peek at Crop Rex. Even if you can’t join live, register and we’ll send you the recording.
