1. A method of indicating a characteristic of a soil sample of a field, the method comprising:
measuring a plurality of co-factors in the soil sample, the plurality of co-factors comprising a pH of the soil sample and a phosphorus content of the soil sample;
using the plurality of co-factors to place the soil sample in a soil sample group;
measuring the characteristic of the soil sample;
scaling the measured characteristic based on the soil sample group the soil sample is placed into to form a scaled measure;
displaying the scaled measure to better represent the characteristic of the soil sample relative to soil samples of the sample group.
