Great idea and gesture to the community.

Does any of your land receive irrigation?

I'd like to send you several surface and subsoil sensors to deploy that will communicate back to me via GPRS. Just a couple of minutes is needed to deploy each sensor.

And it would be very helpful if you could send back a soil sample at my expense.

Does this sound practical?

I have an acre in South-East New Mexico and am hoping to get the proximate 10 acres within a year or so. If you need another soil sensor deployment I'd also install and send you photos and soil samples.

I'm an agronomist by training if it matters.

It's arid and the soil has a fair amount of gypsum. It is on a hillside around my home and has never been cultivated (except a small patch for my garden). I'll shoot you an email you can respond if interested.

This is absolutely practical. I'm happy to do this. The land was previously used as a tree farm, so there is no irrigation system. But there is some marshland on the property.

My contact info is in my profile. Very much looking forward to this.
