Fall soil sampling leads to better fertilizer decisions next spring.

There’s no better time to pull soil samples than in the fall, right after harvest. Fields are clean and crews can work quickly. Applying lime, phosphorus and potassium in the fall can also help make sure you’re ready to plant again next spring.
 

The more we can get done in the fall, the happier I am going into winter. We want to be planting corn in late April, not waiting to spread fertilizer.

Grid soil sampling in the fall also gives growers and agronomists plenty of time to complete planting prescriptions for every acre, including corn hybrid or soybean variety selection, plant populations, variable rate nitrogen application, micro nutrients and more.
