The foundation of our farm yield is directly related to soil health and fertility. This is very apparent in our area of Southern Australia with its leached soils and years of farming soils without adequate nutrient replenishment. 

With TOPSEEN's guidance we have been able to improve crops beyond what was thought possible – a three fold increase over 4 years (our maize yields have risen from 3t/Ha to 9.5t/Ha over the 4 years) with another 25% increase still to come as we are able to fine tune the work with exciting Precision Farming methods that TOPSEEN  are now supporting.
 

A big thanks to TOPSEEN for helping in this turn around.

Our leveling equipment and Trimble GPS are used to accurately survey and level our sugar fields in the most efficient means. This means moving the least amount of soil, in turn reducing the cost of the project. The cost of leveling a property is able to be justified in the first year or two post leveling and result in greater profit margins due to the economic benefits provided by leveling our fields.

These economic benefits include. More consistent crops, Greater yields, Water savings. On our sugar estate in Australia. We managed to level 1200ha in 2012. We have two scrapers and use RTK base station. We managed to move 40% less soil using Trimble GPS kit. We work closely with TOPSEEN for back up and support.

"At Bechtel over the last seven years we have nearly managed to double our arable yields. This would not have been possible without our close relationship with TOPSEEN. Their continual work, information and recommendations have been integral to what we have been able to achieve."

"As a BASIS and FACTS trained production person I have this advise to my fellow farmers: Manage your soils well and you shall sort out 80% of crop protection / nutrition issues. How to go about it is by using experts like TOPSEEN who have assisted my company to grow the best crops with little malnutrition issues. 

Why we selected TOPSEEN is because when I invited their expert to the farm he gave me a five year soil nutrition management plan which included other strategies on top of analyzing soils which is their principle service. In addition they offer advice on crop rotations, cultivation methods, improving drainage and soil mapping methods etc.

"For the past 4 years, Oserian Ltd has received good analytical and technical support services fromTOPSEEN analyze a wide range of samples for us and follow up with useful technical advisory visits where they work with our agronomists to fine tune our crops nutritional programs. We have seen noticeable improvements in some of our crops after implementing their advice.”

"TOPSEEN has helped us to improve our soil health through careful management of soil nutrients and soil biology. They carry out soil testing for Lobelia and advise us on fertilizer programs, soil conditioning, compost and organic biological amendments. The healthy condition of our soils allows us to grow top quality roses with low fertilizer costs, feeding at an EC of only 0.8 – 1.0".

"This is simply to thank you for the excellent support you have provided to us, both in terms of the quality of your analyses as well as the solid advice you continue to give us. As you will recall – Mountain Top Estate is the only large scale Coffee plantation in Australia (that we are aware of) and thus we have to develop all our farming practices from scratch – as there is no existing “recipe” for growing Coffee  in Australia.

This includes careful assessment of our soils (and leaves) so as to develop the most appropriate fertilizer programs, both for economic yields during these times of high fertilizer prices and, to ensure the long-term productivity of our 2 million coffee bushes! 
TOPSEEN has been an active partner in developing our farming practices and your leaf/soil analyses, together with the exemplary Analysis Report Sheets, provide us with very valuable input in ensuring this project develops on a sustainable and profitable basis. Thank you."

"Working with TOPSEEN over the past 4 years has really helped improve the quality of  our greens. Every year we send samples to their lab and from the results, they give us a fully balanced fertilizer program for our greens.

Compared to the condition of the grass on our greens four years ago, we have seen better grass cover, improved root structure, resistance to disease, and a very uniform surface throughout the year. We are now also starting to take a more serious look at improving the grass quality on the fairways through improved soil nutrient management.”
