How to Reach Local Farmers

[PaulTech]

Hi everyone!

We’re an Estonian startup that entered the UK market this year, and we’re proud to have over 20 British farmers already using our innovative soil stations. With more than 120 clients across Estonia, Finland, and Sweden, we’re also expanding into Lithuania this year.

As we continue to grow in UK, we’d really appreciate your advice on how to increase our social media following in here. Are there any Facebook groups or communities where we should be more active? We’d love your suggestions on how to better reach local farmers. Any feedback and recommendations are greatly appreciated

If you're interested in our product, feel free to visit our website: https://paul-tech.com/ or read our blogpost: https://paul-tech.com/smart-farming-how-to-unlock-soil-plant-and-weather-data/

Also, our team is offering a free demo, and don’t worry, there are no obligations attached

What is your product?

Paul-Tech’s soil station helps farmers optimize their field management by providing real-time data on soil health. This smart device, powered by solar energy and equipped with sensors, measures key soil parameters such as nutrient levels, moisture, and temperature at two depths, along with air temperature and humidity above ground. The data is updated every two hours and is accessible through a user-friendly web application.

The main benefits include reducing fertilizer use, which leads to significant cost savings. The platform also offers automated recommendations for the optimal timing of field activities, helping farmers make precise, data-driven decisions that enhance both crop yields and environmental sustainability.

i’ve run 2 of these stations for the last 12 months. - has provided some interesting data that will probably change our N timings in future seasons

Christ on a bike, this place is becoming like American TV, where the programmes get in the way of the continuous adverts and product placements...

Dont worry, it was a comment made in jest, and to be fair, it looks like an interesting product.
Should you wish to send one to me for reviewing then @Clive can pass on my contact details...

how much is it worth and how much does it cost?

Thank you for your interest in our product!

It's difficult to provide a specific price since each client’s preferences, needs, and the number of soil stations required can vary.
If you're really interested, please reach out to our sales manager at [email protected] or leave us your contact details. You can also book a demo through our website.

If you have to ask... you can't afford it!

That's not true! Even our Estonian farmers are using our soil stations without breaking a sweat If you're curious, let's chat or book a demo!

 

[Humble Village Farmer]

Pity there's no indication of cost.

 

[graham mc]

price on application a bit like machinery it seams

 

[BRB John]

Even an example would be helpful to know if we're talking hundreds or thousands.... Or a hefty monthly subscription model....
I think there would be plenty b interest if we had a bit more transparency
some farmers don't like making a blind phone call to a sales rep would rather be armed with a bit more knowledge before picking up the phone.

Somehow, we managed to get ourselves banned for a bit – but now we’re back and ready to pick up right where we left off

Our prices aren’t a big secret, but since we’re open to a client-specific approach, we didn’t want to list exact prices here. For example, our basic 12-month package, which includes two soil stations, is currently available at £2,980. The package covers everything from regular maintenance and inspections to data-driven insights, map views, and more.
If you’re considering more stations or a longer-term collaboration, we’re happy to discuss customized pricing options.

Feel free to book a demo with us, and let’s discuss your needs and possibilities

What kind of acreage would two stations cover?
£3k seems alot but if that covers a large area I could see a few farmers splitting the cost.

Thank you for your interest!

Each farm is unique and will be treated as such to get the best results. Farmers know their lands better than anyone else, so we work closely with this knowledge and take hand readings across the fields to ensure we find locations to represent as wide an area as possible (similar to how soil sampling works).

As an example, on average, saving just 5% of fertiliser use over 50ha will more than pay for a station for the year, and that is even before considering the multitude of ways our system can help improve efficiency and returns.

As suggested earlier, if you are working with other farmers or clusters we would be happy to discuss a package to suit the group.

How Paul-Tech can support you:

Smart soil monitoring: Continuous (24/7) monitoring of your soils at two depths, providing real-time insights.

Nutrient levels: Get proof of unused nutrients from the previous season, track nutrient availability to plants, uptake by plants, and movement through the soil profile.

Moisture management: Keep soil water at optimal levels to prevent crop damage from excess water or dry stress.

Soil temperature tracking: Know when the soil becomes active and understand how temperature impacts nutrient availability, moisture, and crop health.


Frequently asked question: How much effort is required to access data from soil stations?
Many tools still require manual data downloads or readings, but not with Paul-Tech! Our soil stations automatically send data every 2 hours directly to your device.
