The partners are involved on the basis they must not promote or try to sell their own products. They will provide unprejudiced advice and information related to your specific requirements. These "rules" apply for all StockCARE® farms whether they are customers or not.
Rabobank will visit every property in the first year to demonstrate collection of data for financial performance analysis. This is an excellent opportunity to discuss aspects of your financial management without prejudice.
They are available at anytime to assist with any issue relating to your StockCARE® financial analysis.
On request, through your own seed supplier representative, the Agricom team are available to assist through phone contact or a farm visit where required. Please direct all enquiries through your local seed merchant.

The key to fertiliser management is getting good information through your soil tests. The benefit of correct soil testing using transect lines over the farm has been well proven as the best way to monitor changes in farm soil fertility. If the first year you will be encouraged to set up transect lines and do annual soil tests for the first three years. One soil test does not tell us much, but after three years we will see definite trends and patterns across your farm. Soil test results are sent to the StockCARE® database to generate reports.
If you are unable to get transect lines set up with your own supplier feel free to contact your local Ballance agri-nutrients representative.
They offer StockCARE® farms:
- Setting up transect lines with GPS co-ordinates to improve the reliability of your soil test results at no cost
- Collection of soil samples from your farm at no cost
- You pay for soil tests
- Soil test results go to Ballance and you
- Ballance will talk to you about your results without obligation
