Depends on where you are in Southeast Louisiana, there is a huge difference in the soil between the Florida Parishes and the Mississippi River delta blackjack gumbo. The hills across the river from me have solid red soil that is full of rusty iron. They can grow blueberries like crazy, we cannot grow blueberries or azaleas over here unless they are directly under a pine tree.
Never hurts to do a soil test, but unless you have your drainage squared away you will get different results for different spots.
No matter where you are you cannot mess up your pasture by adding lime.
