Subject: RE: Soil test interpretation, fertility, fertilizer recommendations, and economics


Clark, SD		I hate to break it to you, but these soil tests are pretty much useless...You're trying to fertilize a whole field off one one soil test point. Famous saying, no data is better than bad data... For a good look at the fields you really need to be doing some grid sampling...weather is on 1 or 2 acres grids up to 5-10 acre grids. You said yourself in the description on the yield in these fields ex, 80 bushels in alot of places but 52 was the average...says the fields are really variable...yet you think one soil test is able to get useful data?

Without more complete soil testing data you're just wasting your money trying to do anything like what you're wanting to.
