Every property is different, which is why we take the time to walk your paddocks, listen to your goals, and build recommendations based on real observations backed by science. From soil testing through to independent fertiliser plans, our process is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth.
On-Farm Consultation
No two farms are the same, which is why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. We begin with a personal visit to your farm, walking your paddocks and observing conditions firsthand. This gives us valuable insight into the unique challenges you face and the outcomes you want to achieve. During this time, we’ll discuss your goals, management practices, and any issues you’re experiencing with soil, pasture, or stock. This consultation is completely obligation-free, designed to give you clarity without pressure.
Soil & Pasture Testing
To get a full understanding of soil and pasture health, we collect both soil and herbage samples during our visit. Soil testing allows us to measure nutrient levels, pH balance, and herbage testing gives insight into pasture quality and animal nutrition. Together, these provide a comprehensive picture of how your land is performing and where improvements can be made. Samples are sent to New Zealand’s leading laboratories—Hills Laboratories or Eurofins—for accurate and reliable analysis.
Independent Recommendations
Once we have the full picture, we bring everything together—soil test results, pasture condition, animal health considerations, and our on-farm discussions. From this, we create fertiliser recommendations tailored to your farm’s specific needs. Because our advice is fully independent, you can trust that it’s designed for your goals, not product sales.
Our recommendations are shaped not only by lab results, but also by what we see in the paddock and what matters most to you as a farmer. This ensures every plan is practical, cost-effective, and aligned with your long-term sustainability and productivity.
Our Process
At Nutri-Link, we believe the best results come from a process that’s both hands-on and tailored to your farm.
