Yes the Integra doesn't have a soil sampling feature. SMS mobile on a laptop with a USB GPS receiver can be a good approach. Or SMS Mobile and Ag Leader's MESA platform (a rugged tablet for all intensive purposes). SMS Basic will allow you to create sample grids and export them. You can generate simple VRT maps using soil test results, but Advanced allows you to write detailed equations ( like if soil P > 50 then apply 200 lbs DAP, if soil P > 60 then apply 100 lbs DAP, etc) for VRT fertilizer, seed, pretty much anything. Also, Advanced gives you analysis tools to create multi year averages, comparisons (yield vs seed variety) and more. I think Basic will work for you. If you realize you indeed want more in-depth analysis abilities you can always upgrade.
