Fall soil testing of hayfields and pastures

Soil testing can be done in either spring or fall on hayfields and pastures. Fall soil testing allows more time for any needed lime applications to have an effect before the main growing season begins, and it gives the producer some flexibility for planning nutrient applications. With high fertilizer prices, accurate soil tests are even more important to help save on input costs.
