Collecting soil samples for field testing
The guide stresses representative sampling with 20 to 30 cores per field and a pint sub-sample after mixing. Avoid dead furrows and lime-rock areas as they misrepresent fields. Sampling is timely for lime application decisions to optimize farming dollars.
Start Lawn Seeding Preparation Now
It is not too early to plan a fall lawn and perform a soil test to guide fertilizer needs. Contact the extension office for sampling advice and follow soil test results to add nitrogen phosphorus potassium or lime as required. If soil is heavy plow and amend with peat moss or cement matter and reseed after a second tilling to reduce weeds.
