Anyone else done a soil assay test. If so what surprised you the most from the results.
If we start treating our dirt as soil. And work towards building an environment for the soil biology to thrive instead of just barely surviving. I think there’s opportunities to maintain production while trimming inputs.
I was curious about my soil’s properties. So I had a total soil assay (nitric acid digestion) done on 2 combined 6” sample cores. The results that surprised me was the amount of aluminum at 10500 ppm. Also the iron at 11100 ppm. The 2 samples that made up this single total assay test were tested as a water extract (rapidsoil test). That would be comparable to a Haney h3a test. I’ll post those if people are interested. Along with those 2 tests I did a whole plant sap test on the DeKalb corn number at v4. I also continued to pull sap tests from these to areas during the growing season.

There’s money stored up in that dirt that’s not making a return.
