BEFORE YOU INVEST - DO A SOIL TEST
The application of fertilizers without first conducting a soil test is comparable to taking prescription medicine without first consulting a doctor. The amounts and kinds of fertilizers required for the same crop may vary from soil to soil, even field to field on the same soil. In many cases farmers are wasting money by purchasing and applying fertilizers that they don't need. A soil test will help to determine if fertilizers are needed any at all or the right amount to ensure efficient nutrient intake.
The cost of soil testing is relatively inexpensive in comparison to the costs of the fertilizer and the losses that may be sustained.
