An agronomist says with the high cost of fertilizer, investing in good soil samples can pay off.
Scott Rountree is with Pioneer in Wisconsin. He tells Brownfield, “Knowing exactly what’s out in those fields, I’d stress the importance of grid or zone soil sampling and knowing what your P and K levels are out in those fields.”
Rountree says farmers benefit from knowing exactly what is in the soil at many points in the field, especially on rented acres where farmers often manage for minimum input.
