About

A soil-science practice, published in the open.

We turn the national soil survey, 967,000 records covering every county in the US, into a parcel-level go / caution / no-go verdict and a pedologist-written report that holds up to lenders, regulators, and juries.

Built and reviewed by licensed pedologists.

Lab10YR is a working practice, not a data reseller. The maps, scores, and reports here come out of the same discipline a soil scientist brings to a field description: name the method, cite the survey, and say plainly what the data can and cannot support.

Licensed pedologists

Every product on this site is built and reviewed by licensed pedologists. The people writing the reports are the people who read soil profiles for a living.

Field-scientist discipline

We work the way a field scientist works: state the method, cite the source, show the uncertainty. A score you cannot trace is a score you cannot defend.

Every number traceable

Every value we publish traces to the national soil survey: SSURGO map units, KSSL lab pedons, the federal soil API. No proprietary black box between you and the source.

The data underneath is public, national, and measured.

Proof you can open, not claims you have to take.

Every live app on this site is open to anyone, no signup and no sales call. That is deliberate: if we say we can read the ground, you should be able to watch us do it before you spend a dollar. The catalog is the credential.
