[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 890652, member: 9115"] What I struggle with is people that will take a couple or three samples on 40 acres and mix them together then go on that sample. If griding the fields is available in their areas, it will pay. Example, a few years ago I got some bags, did just that and it looked like I needed about 3 ton of lime to the acre on 160 acres, 480 tons. Decided to have the grid done and variable spread the lime. They took samples on every 1 1/2 acre plot. Some areas called for no lime, some called for as much as 5 ton. The whole 160 called for 488 ton total. Put it on just where was needed, didn't waste lime on the ground that didn't need lime, and still bought the same amount. My cost of the grid test was $9 an acre. gs [/QUOTE]
