[QUOTE="Shooter77, post: 5535558, member: 1760"] How often does everyone do a soil sample on a certain plot? I've got 5 micro plots (.18-.53 acre) in the woods on my 29 acres that I've done soil samples on the last 2 years. 2021, I put down almost 1680 lbs of lime by hand on these. Turned out to be huge for them. Last year, all my plots were 6.8 - 7.2 ph and required no lime and no more than 1 bag of fertilizer. I've thought about holding off this year on these 5 plots. Go to a every other year soil test. Thoughts? In March I will be closing on an addition 53 acres that joins mine. It has a field that's 4.5 acres that I plan to do corn and soybean on at least half. The other half might do some clover, brassica, wheat & oats mix. Would you do the whole field as a single test of break it up into at least 2 samples to address the different plantings? There is 2 small openings I plan to plant also, these are around 1/4 acre each. Should I just focus my soil samples on these new plots this year? [/QUOTE]
