[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1652531, member: 6543"] there are numerous private labs around the country that can do a basic soil test. most of the land grant universities also will do a good job of testing....in our state the university testing is free for bonafide agricultural producers... the interpretation of the results is the key.....even the greenest ag extenison agents I have experienced know not to put down 150 lbs of nitrogen all at one time.... one problem may be that your area does not have an Agricultural Extension agent....Extension has other agents like urban agents and family and nutrition agents and 4-h only agents....and if there is no ag agent then one of them is probably covering the duties .... one new development in Virginia this year is the Department of Conservation and Recreation will pay for nutrient management plans written by certified planners....this is a major step forward..... all a producer has to do is contact a planner or DCR and request a plan.... Any GOOD farm supply store should also be able to give you some advice on fertilizer applications....in our area many of them have certified nutrient management planners on staff....they will do your plans if you do business with them...many will make the applications for you....only problem is you are in line with the rest of the customers for application scheduling...we have a couple of private applicators who specialize in smaller farms... one more option here is if you can get permitted for Biosolids application....the biosolids companies are required to write you a nutrient management plan....
