Soil Sampling for Agronomic Analysis and Soil Carbon Projects

Location

Queensland & Northern New South Wales

Client

AgriProve Pty Ltd

Date

August 2021 – Ongoing

Verterra has partnered with AgriProve to streamline soil carbon farming through application of DROVER’s innovative baselining, sampling, and data management. Employing purpose-built rig systems and a fully trained field team we have delivered scalable, regulator-compliant soil sampling for carbon projects across Queensland and northern New South Wales.

Our Solution

  • Design of Efficient Soil Coring Systems: developed tools to enhance sampling efficiency for carbon farming initiatives.
  • Field Deployment of Soil Sampling Rigs: capable of collecting intact cores up to 3 m deep and fully compliant with the federal Emissions Reduction Fund’s soil carbon methodology.
  • Rigorous Data Capture & Management: Collected soil data is handled according to both regulatory and client standards, ensuring it supports accurate baselining and future carbon sequestration modelling.
  • High-Volume Sampling Operations: our team has completed over 3,100 soil cores across diverse projects—including carbon credits, biosolids fertilising, land characterisation and environmental assessments.

Demonstrated Outcomes

  • Scalable Soil Carbon Baseline Establishment: Robust baseline data across multiple properties enables accurate modelling of future carbon sequestration potential.
  • Regulatory-Grade Compliance: Sampling adheres to Emissions Reduction Fund specifications, ensuring high credibility for carbon projects.
  • Enhanced Throughput: The deployment of multiple rigs and skilled operators has increased the speed and volume of soil data collection.
  • Informed Landholder Insights: Landholders gain a clearer understanding of soil organic carbon stocks, informing both environmental planning and potential carbon market participation.
