Typically, we recommend 10 cores to make up a soil sample, but most people take five because of time constraints. The Falcon system speeds up soil sampling, so the time it takes to collect enough cores becomes a non-issue. This system will allow you to increase the number of cores per sample and can be used to produce more samples per field, to get the intensive sampling that will provide the high-resolution soil test data needed for variable-rate precision fertilizer applications.
