Strategy #2, Effective Fertilization Managment.
3-9-2026

Fertilizer represents the largest part of the Budget in 2026 at $131.  If you put a happy medium, then the average is closer to $150.  Add micro’s everywhere and also foliar feeds, then add another $10 or $15.  These extra add on’s are generally or almost always not necessary.  University research shows no response.  Fertilizer is like lime only more leachable except for phosphorus in that it needs some for maintenance but putting extra does not help.  (with lime, it can hurt which is why we trust soil samples for lime.)

Also I can get lab results from summarized to give you a customized independent recommendation. Contact Johnny. The best thing to do is to forward your lab results to me by email. I do not need the recommendations that you have unless they are already included. Call if you just need a consultation.
