Why Should I Get:
Soil and/or Water Tested:
Soil
Soil testing provides valuable information on important soil characteristics
Cost effective decisions about fertilisers and other soil additions on your farm
Optimise pasture production
To protect the environment from contamination by runoff and leaching of excess fertilisers
To aid in the diagnosis of plant or pasture problems
To improve the nutritional balance of the growing media and to save money and conserve energy
Water
Water quality testing can provide valuable data on the condition of a particular body of water, and whether it may need special treatment before use.
When the water supplies on your property start to become low, salinity, pH and chemicals can reach higher than normal concentrations, and in surface water supplies algal blooms can occur, all of which have the potential to be harmful to you and your animals
Worm Egg Counts:

Could Save a Loss of Life, health issues or expensive Vet Bills from Heavy Worm Infestation
FWEC are a way to check for Deworming effectiveness
Monitor Pasture Contamination
We need to do all we can to reduce resistance to wormers as, if we don’t take these steps, wormers will cease to work effectively in the future
It helps with state monitoring of Parasites.
