A: Soil sampling can tell you a lot about what is happening in the field. It can answer questions on yield impact and how much fertilizer do you actually need to put down and where. Depending on the level of sampling being completed you can see what your macronutrients, micronutrients and even water holding capacity, just to name a few.
Minnesota’s soils can vary widely within a single field. Consider the topography, drainage patterns, and historical land use when determining sampling locations.
Different crops may have varying root depths, so it’s essential to sample at the appropriate depth. For row crops like corn and soybeans, sampling depth is typically 6-12 inches.
The timing of soil sampling can affect nutrient levels. Ideally, samples should be taken in the fall after harvest or in the spring before planting to reflect the nutrient status before the growing season.
Align soil testing with nutrient management plans. Consider the specific nutrient requirements of the crops to be planted and adjust fertilizer recommendations accordingly.
Soil pH is critical for nutrient availability. Test and address pH levels, as they can influence nutrient uptake by plants.
Minnesota’s soils vary in organic matter content. Consider this when interpreting soil test results, as organic matter influences nutrient retention and availability.
Minnesota has a significant focus on nitrogen management due to its impact on water quality. Assess nitrate levels in the soil and implement best management practices to minimize nutrient runoff.
A: Soil Test Reports are sent in CSV, Excel and PDF format.
A: No, not for fertility sampling. All you need to get started is a rough boundary of the field (we can provide) to be sampled.
