Collect Sampling Requests with Precision GPS and Field Data
Give growers and agronomists a form where they drop a pin on the exact field. LandForms automatically captures GPS coordinates, the reverse-geocoded address, and PLSS legal descriptions for that pin. Crop type identification and parcel boundaries are launching soon with the Pro plan.
The Problem with Current Sampling Request Intake
Soil sampling companies receive requests via phone calls, emails, and texts — each with inconsistent location information. A grower might say "the north field by the county road" without providing legal descriptions, GPS coordinates, or even an accurate acreage number.
Your team then spends time calling back to clarify locations, looking up PLSS coordinates on county GIS portals, and manually identifying crop types from satellite imagery.
Inaccurate field identification leads to wasted sampling trips, mislocated grid points, and costly re-sampling. Every hour spent on data cleanup is an hour not spent in the field.
How LandForms Solves This
LandForms gives you a professional intake form with an embedded satellite map. Growers drop a pin on the exact field they need sampled. The platform instantly resolves the GPS coordinates to a PLSS legal description (section, township, range, meridian) and the reverse-geocoded street address.
The sampling request arrives in your dashboard with the precise location, legal description, address, and any custom fields you added (depth, grid density, special instructions, grower contact info).
Crop ID, field boundaries, and direct integrations with scheduling and field-management software are launching soon with the Pro plan.

LandForms for Soil Sampling FAQ
How does LandForms work for soil sampling companies?
You create a branded intake form with an embedded satellite map. Growers or agronomists drop a pin on the field they need sampled, and LandForms captures GPS coordinates, the address, and PLSS legal description. Requests arrive in your dashboard ready to schedule.
Can LandForms identify what crop is currently planted?
Crop type identification (via the USDA Cropland Data Layer) and field boundary detection are launching soon as part of the Pro plan. Today, the form captures GPS, address, and PLSS legal description for every pin.
How accurate are the PLSS coordinates?
LandForms resolves GPS coordinates to PLSS legal descriptions (section, township, range, meridian) using authoritative survey data. Accuracy depends on the pin placement; satellite view helps growers place pins precisely on the target field.
Can growers submit sampling requests from their phone?
Yes. LandForms forms are fully responsive and work on any mobile device. Growers can open the link, use the satellite map to find their field, drop a pin, and submit — all from their phone in the field.
