Whether you have hundreds of acres or a small lawn there are benefits to find out
what deficiencies your soil may have. To increase the productivity of your soil this
workshop will inform participants how to correctly take a soil sample and how to
interpret the results of the sample taken. Soil testing leads to increased crop yields,
optimized fertilizer and lime use. By soil testing money can be saved by eliminating
over fertilizing and over liming
