I saw a 1.5 hac chacra last week 5 minutes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariscala
the area looks nice and quite, the small town has most of the services and not expensive.
only problem i dont know about the soil fertility around this area, most of the campos dont do any agriculture there, i saw some small chacras growing some corn and potato.
please if anyone knows more info about this area, mostly about soil fertility because i want to be able to grow most of the crops...
thanks for the helpers

That would be me. :-)
I think it can give you a rough idea. But you shouldn't rely on that only. Also, a property might have more than one score depending on the terrain.
Our place has a uniform score of 196. Some places we can grow things, other places not. The soil varies widely just on our property.
I think the reality is that the only way to get an accurate assessment is to visit the property and do a soil test. Then assume that you'll have to augment the soil in order to really grow anything.

Coneat score below 80 is idealy used for afforestation. Coneat score from 80-120 is idealy used for cattle raising. Coneat score above 120 ideal for agriculture. But as someone mentioned before, these scores were given in 1968 I believe. Crazyfarmers advice of visiting and doing a soil test is probably the only way of really finding out.

i live in lavallaje , though not out in the country. But i know people on farms near here. the soil is very depleated,from years of overgrazing, in many cases. But , people who start adding organic matter to the soil find that it enriches it very fast. If they collected the mate grounds . like they do wet scraps in cities like Berlin, they could revitalize all the soil in the whole country! ( seriously, it is pretty easy to build the soil up around here, as there is a never ending supply of free animal dung , as well as food scraps from private individuals and restaurants, that just goes into the trash. ( i have seen people pull it out for their pigs and goats...)

Agree with crazyfarmer that you have to see the property. The CONEAT for the property is 70 which should be OK if you're prepared to work some compost in but if the ground is full of rock?
