Ohio State University Extension explains how to choose between grid and zone soil sampling for your operation and how to use them.

Are you still wrestling with questions over soil fertility issues in your no-tilled pastures? A recent blog post from Oklahoma State University Extension’s Brian Arnall might shed some light on the situation for you.

Jack Estes of Estes Brothers Farms talks about the family's experience with long-term no-till, including the benefits of improved soil structure, timesaving and higher organic matter levels, as well as how cover crops are further helping in areas that typically wash. He also explains how zone sampling showed the pH variability in their fields from previous tobacco crops, and why he's now premixing his AMS before spraying.
