(2013 .. 2014)                                                  

Back in 2010 a friend of mine started a business doing soil ser-
vices,  and I joined to that.  I did some of the  field work and
soon I started to write Python programs to evaluate lab results.
These programs are used by the experts until today with absolute
satisfaction.                                                   

I started with a basic fertilizer calculator based on soil prop-
erties:                                                         



The second  and more complex program was coded with OOP.  Fortu-
nately it was reliable enough from the start.  In the past years
I needed to see my code in only a several times because of a bug
fix  or feature request.  This experience convinced  me to avoid
OOP, as maintaining this code (despite being well tested and al-
most completely bugfree)  was a pain in  contrast with my proce-
dural coded programs which are a lot more transparent and fast. 

Anyway, this was coded in Python using NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib.
The program import lab result data from their Excel files and is
able to export tables and images for the scientific opinions.
