How soil testing can increase the bottom line

Soil testing is one of many things farmers can do to enhance their profit potential.  Farm Clinic agronomist Scott Batts says in a time when input cost are increasing soil testing can help farmers make sure the right nutrients are placed where they are needed.  He says applying the right rates of nutrients helps producers maximize production while keeping fertilizer costs at a minimum. 

Batts tells Brownfield, The Farm Clinic pulls soil samples across 2 ½ acre grids and tests for P, K and pH levels in the soil.  From there, he says staff agronomist assess the report’s findings and provide unbiased opinions based on the test results with the ultimate goal of saving the farmer time and money.
