Collect Sampling Requests with Precision GPS and Field Data
Give growers and agronomists a form where they drop a pin on the exact field, and LandForms automatically captures GPS coordinates, PLSS legal descriptions, crop type identification, and parcel boundaries. Every sampling request arrives complete and ready to schedule.
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 a 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), identifies the current crop type from the USDA Cropland Data Layer, and captures parcel boundaries.
The sampling request arrives in your dashboard with everything your team needs: precise location, legal description, crop ID, field boundaries, and any custom fields you added (depth, grid density, special instructions).
Route completed requests directly to your scheduling system, spreadsheet, or field management software through Zapier. Eliminate phone tag and manual data entry entirely.

PLSS Legal Description
Section, township, range, and meridian resolved automatically from coordinates.
Crop Identification
Current crop type from the USDA Cropland Data Layer, updated annually.
Field Boundaries
Parcel boundaries with acreage, mapped from county and USDA records.
Satellite Context
Satellite view at pin location for visual field verification.
Custom Fields
Add fields for sampling depth, grid density, special instructions, or grower contact info.
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 automatically captures GPS coordinates, PLSS legal descriptions, crop type, and field boundaries. Requests arrive complete in your dashboard.
Can LandForms identify what crop is currently planted?
Yes. LandForms integrates with the USDA Cropland Data Layer (CDL) to identify the current crop type at the pin-drop location. This data is included automatically in each submission.
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.
