If you don’t know what your soil has for fertility, pH, organic matter, cation exchange capacity, and base saturation, how can you efficiently invest your fertilizer dollars? You can’t, and it’s probably costing you thousands of dollars every year. I know this may seem impossible if you are a fertilizer novice, but in one day you can become one of the most knowledgeable people in your area on this topic.
Here is what you can expect to learn at a free Ag PhD Soils Clinic:
- How to pull a proper soil sample
- How to read a soil test from top to bottom
- How to make your own fertilizer recommendations
- How to make your own variable rate controller files so you can spread your own fertilizer
- How to determine which nutrients you are overspending on and which ones you need more of
