Subject: RE: Grid sampling and tissue testing.


I like your logic usafarmer. However, is your plan to tissue test exactly where the DGPS grid soil samples were pulled? If not, I am guessing your going to lose many of the benefits of tissue testing on top of soil test points.

Now, you then need to determine how you are going to soil sample then tissue test in the same areas. Some consultants stop in the middle of a management grid and pull 4 soil samples, one at each wheel of a 4 wheeler. Each to their own, but I think this is a waste of time. You need more samples which more accurately represent the area of the management grid. So, if you GPS map each sample point, it will take more time, but you can return to these areas for tissue sampling.

Thoughts?
