Soil tests guide fertilizer use for Scott county farmers
The Benton Extension office reports 230 soil samples tested in Q1 for Scott county farmers. Results show fertilizer recommendations on each sample, now including exchangeable calcium acidity stable organic matter phosphate exchangeable potash and magnesium. A long term comparison shows one plot cropped since 1879 with depleted yield versus a fertilized adjacent plot yielding 85 bushels, illustrating the need for proper deposits to maintain and increase soil fertility. Soil tests eliminate guess work in fertilizing soils.
