[QUOTE="Mid South Guy, post: 890415, member: 17328"] Would someone please explain why it seems that very few people do soiling testing? I see on this board and others, and a lot of people I talk to keep asking, what kind of fertilizer do I need? How much fertilizer do I need? Do I need to lime? etc. All these questions can be answered with a soil analysis, and every place I've been this is a service offerd by the extension service FREE of charge, paid for with our tax dollars. You just take samples to them, tell them what was grown there last year, what will be grown next year, when it was last limed, and they will return an analysis of your soil and a fertilizer and lime recommendation based on your goals. It's up to the indiviual if they want to act on that. The mere fact they are asking the questions implies they intend to take action. I know soil testing and proper action has made my meager operation much more productive. [/QUOTE]
