Fecha de publicación: 01/01/2015 Fuente: Wipo "precision farming" A system is disclosed that can be used by a farming entity to obtain soils samples for a field. The system includes an application configured to allow the farming entity to generate a work order for a field. The work order is then transmitted to a soil sampling company computing device that is configured to assign the work order to a sample taker located in the geographic region in which the field or farming entity is located. The sample taker then obtains the soil samples in the field, places them in containers having unique identifiers, and ships them to a lab. The lab uses unique identifiers on the sample containers to run the tests and associates the results with geographic locations in the field. The test results are then transmitted to the farming entity that requested the soil sampling.
