[QUOTE="dcara, post: 342351, member: 473"] Sounds like you'e done the right things; and, are lucky to have such a great producing piece of property. Since it has never been grazed I would think a 3 loaction sample from 17 ac would be ok unless there was alot of slope to it (although the soil folks tend to recommend about a 10 location sample). A 25ac section of my property which has about a 2:1 slope has tested better at the bottom of the slope than at the top. JMO - you might want to consider occassionaly grazeing it to return some of the nutrients and help reduce your future fert bills, also overseeding with some arrowleaf clover would help reduce your future nitrogen bills. I suspect your aware of this but thought I'd mention it anyway. BTW - in this area coastal is often the prefered horse hay and goes for at least twice what cow hay goes for. [/QUOTE]
