The much-needed rainfall over the weekend has softened our soils in the area making now a perfect time to sample and test your soils! A soil test is a helpful resource when establishing or maintaining a garden, lawn, landscape, or cultivated field. For relatively little cost, soil tests provide invaluable information for homeowners, gardeners, and farmers by pinpointing nutrient and/or pathogen levels and providing recommendations on how to improve a soil’s condition.
Harvest has started and farmers were making considerable progress until the recent rains. Most farmers welcomed the rain since we have been in a major drought. For most corn and soybeans crops, the rain is probably too late but it may help on late or double crop soybeans (planted after wheat) and for new wheat or cover crops being planted this fall. Of course; fruit trees, lawns and other vegetation needed the rain.
