Future Analytics is an independent lab in Red Deer, Alberta that is proud to conduct tests for individual farmers.
We strive to meet needs that are crop specific and not tailored to industry by implementing new technologies and testing techniques.
Services
Plant Sap Analysis
Plant sap analysis provides insight into current nutritional levels so crop adjustments can be made before any yield losses occur. This new technology has increased knowledge to every day farmers which has led to higher yields and overall crop quality.
Greenhouse and Crop Irrigation Water Analysis
Soil Testing
With knowledge gained in Israel, testing approaches towards soil is a unique trait at Future Analytics. Through customized analysis and explanations offered for every farmer, we are proud to offer new insights which focuses on calcium availability and new approaches to understanding organic matter.
Fertilizer and Humic/Fulvic Acid Testing
Understanding what you are applying is important when working with fertilizers and humic acid products. Humic acid products will vary in terms of humin, humic, fulvic or "other" compounds. For this reason we stress the importance in testing all products rather than trusting a label so all information is revealed.
Understanding water quality and how it impacts crops and greenhouses is an essential aspect in agriculture.

Melissa Werkema
Upon completion of the Chemical Sciences program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in 2009, I began my career as an Analytical Technician performing food testing for fruits, vegetables and honey in Burnaby, BC. Moving forwards, I then accepted a research project at the Weizmann Science Institute in Rehovot, Israel where I independently extracted and analyzed over 40 plants and herbs grown in Israel and Europe. This data was then used to build a reference library.
