Do you have any results from the following yet?
I suggest being careful about placing much emphasis on soil tests.
Acres USA reported 6 US labs giving completely different answers even
in an element as plentiful as P.
A New Zealand soil technician suspected the results he was getting
from soil tests so did as above and got quite different results.
Stockman Grass Farmer in USA, reported similar results.
Pasture analyses are usually much more accurate and more useful
because they show what the pasture is getting out of the soil and
what the animals are eating.
