Shifting to the Spring Perspective

Spring soil sampling resources

As weather trends shift, fall sampling windows continue to put undue pressure on agronomists and growers, and fertilizer prices remain high (though we're thankful they have fallen a bit!). Continual fall sampling isn't sustainable, and spring soil sampling can be a welcomed change in field management and future trajectory.

Don't hesitate, spring sampling means:

  • More time to develop a fertility plan for next year’s crop
  • Greater flexibility in fertilizer purchase timing to hit markets right
  • Accounting for winter nutrient deposits to provide results that match actual soil conditions of the growing plants

Rock River Laboratory removes spring sampling challenges:

  • No babysitting samplers
  • No paperwork
  • No post-sampling recommendations needed until fall
