Kind of surprised really...The gentleman at the soil office said most everything looks good. Once the new plot is cleared it looks like some triple 19 or similar will do it and the existing plot just needs some nitrogen to help things out. Anyone with more experience in these things see anything I should worry about correcting?  |

Did you ask at the SWCD office ? They most often have a Soil Con on board that will tell you what to do with it Or here we just take it to Southern States and they send you in the right direction

When I picked up the results a guy came out to greet me and go over it. CERES is who did it for me. He said nothing concerned him so I was just looking for additional opinions.
Never had one done before so it's not something I'm familiar with....I have no reason to doubt the man who I talked to just trying to learn.

I've found that most Indiana soils lack: Magnesium, Phosphorus, Calcium, and Nitrogen.

I gave my test results to the dude that sells me seed & fertilizer and he hooked my up with a recipe, lbs of material for each plot. Best food plots I've ever have had.

Good article, Swilk. When I lived in Washington, Indiana (My Hometown) we lived north of Washington. I remember neighboring Farmers saying how poor their soil was, and most would say the soil, in that area, was "Corned" to death. Most of the soil type there was clay with some loam. Further north around Plainville the soil was BLACK and sandy type loam. Knew several large Farmers up there, and it seemed they always had good yields on their crops. That area up north of Washington was great for growing Watermelons. In fact Sugarland Memorial Cemetery use to be a watermelon field.

What to fertilize with all depends on what you are planting. For instance, corn has different fertilizer requirements than soybeans.
