Our History
In 1993 Ken Bates of Deniliquin saw a real need for a soil mapping business to be established in the southern Riverina when the rice industry was deregulated and the cost of cropping inputs began to rise . The need to assist farmers in the specialised field of soil mapping was never more evident. With increased water availability in the area, and the deregulation of the rice industry saw the potential of opening up vast tracks of land for irrigation.
ASM has been instrumental in developing soil criteria for dry land, irrigation, horticulture, viticulture and channel seepage investigations over the past 23 years. The development of the use in remote sensing and the introduction of new and innovative methods of soil collection and interpretation has been a catalyst for the growth in ASM’s rapidly expanding business throughout Australia.
Ken has worked with many farmers and irrigation companies to develop his business into an all round system which now includes a chemical soil testing laboratory. Advanced Soil Testing (AST) is an ASPAC certified chemical laboratory specializing in chemical soil analysis. ASM now have the capability to do any job associated with soil testing without time delay.
