[QUOTE="deerhunter10, post: 5536271, member: 11992"] We soil samples our hay fields every year. Our food plots every other year. We lime as needed when it is truly needed. Usually for hay fields every 3ish years. Food plots 4ish. We cheap out on our fertilizing every other year on our food plots just do a generic fertilizer mix but we plant quite a bit acres. Take samples all over the fields. I will say for grain what you are talking about in our experience do everything right as far as what it calls for in the soil samples. We have the ability to spray so we get round up ready beans and corn as well. Separate the beans and corn. They require different fertilizer. We have personally never tried broadcasting corn but have done beans several times before we went to drilling everything. I think for our corn we went to heavy on our broadcasting as it does need some space, but honestly not sure we only tried it twice one time deer and turkeys destroyed it. As also said above if you are going to start to get into it pretty good one of the best tools you can invest in imo is a cultipacker. Haven't priced one in several years im sure they have gone up but you used to be able to find them for not bad at all. This year we are doing a lot of grain so we will start our soil sampling the end of February for us at least. [/QUOTE]
