[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 959305, member: 13402"] You didn't say how much acreage but if it is a large parcel you might want to look into grid testing. They come in and test in a grid pattern the entire site. Then feed the information into the computer and spread it using GPS the program distributes the proper amount of fertilizers in the right areas. We saved enough just in lime cost to pay for the testing. When we would do our soil test the traditional way we would take numerous samples and adjust the lime application as best as we could but we would only take three or four samples a field the grid system samples every two acres. The information you get from this method on the condition of your land is amazing. We used this method for the first time this year and based on the positive results will continue. Gizmom [/QUOTE]
