Ground Truth turns a fistful of soil into lab-grade nitrogen, pH, and moisture readings — then tells you what to actually do, in words a human uses. No agronomist on retainer required.
Every sample comes back with numbers and a one-line verdict. "Too much nitrogen, ease off the fertilizer" beats a 40-page PDF you'll never open.
Pin samples to exact spots on your land. Watch a heat map fill in over seasons so you stop over-treating the acre that was always fine.
We nudge you when a plot is due for a retest — not at 5am, not fourteen times, not with a motivational quote about soil.
Import old records or start fresh. Either way you get year-over-year lines that make bankers and landlords nod approvingly.
Log samples offline in the back forty. Everything syncs the second you're near a bar of reception or the barn wifi.
Send a clean report to your co-op or agronomist with one link. They see the data, not your login, not your other fields.
“I used to mail samples to a lab and wait three weeks for a spreadsheet I couldn't read. Now I scan, I get an answer, I move on. My cover crop actually made sense this year.”
“We manage 22 acres of vines across four slopes with wildly different soil. Ground Truth's field map showed me I'd been fertilizing block three like block one for a decade. Rookie mistake, fixed.”
“The reminders are the whole thing for me. I forget to test until something's already yellow. Now it just tells me. Dry sense of humor too, which I did not expect from a soil app.”
Start free-ish. Upgrade when it hurts.
For the solo operator with a truck, a shovel, and better things to do.
For growing operations juggling crews, seasons, and picky landlords.
For co-ops and multi-site operations that answer to a board.
