Meijer Potato
install Soil Scout
sensors
In a first for Soil Scout in the UK we are
delighted to announce that Meijer Potato have
recently installed Soil Scout sensors in various
key locations around the country.
This is the first growing season that Meijer will
be monitoring underground soil conditions in
their fields and we are extremely proud that
they have chosen the Soil Scout solution to
provide this highly beneficial data.
Max Tarneberg, International Product Manager
for Meijer Potato said: “I found out about
the Soil Scout solution when I searched the
internet for wireless soil sensors.
“We have installed Scout sensors into Mour fields so we can learn a little bit more about how
soil moisture and salinity and temperature can affect
the quality of our overall product. We understand that it
will have an effect but we have never been able to record
exactly how much these conditions exist in the field and
measure them properly.
“There’s an added benefit being able to take the
measurements remotely which saves us on travel which is
good for employee safety and our climate targets.”
Jim Coley, Agricultural Sales Executive for Soil Scout

commented:
“We are
really pleased
that we have
completed this
recent installation for
Meijer Potato. Soil Scout
was very proudly founded
by a 19th generation farmer in
Finland and having had so much success in the sports turf
and golf course maintenance sector it is great to see the
company taking large strides forward in the agricultural
industry too.
“It’s a real coup for Soil Scout to be working with Meijer
Potato, they are one of the leading potato seed breeders
in Europe and we are really looking forward to developing
a strong relationship with them moving forward.”
Soil Scout’s VP of International Sales, Adam Sedgwick
added: “This installation has come at a fantastic time
for the company. We are talking to lots of farmers and
growers throughout Europe and we are really excited
to see how our data helps Meijer Potato achieve their
growing objectives this season.”
With a combined 40 plus years of
experience working in the agriculture industry
Soil Scout’s Adam Sedgwick and Jim Coley are
extremely well-informed to answer all of your
underground soil monitoring questions.

you face-to-face at the forthcoming Cereals event on
Wednesday 30 June and Thursday 1 July at Boothby
Graffoe, Lincolnshire.
Please call by and meet the team on stand number
