Why test soil?
Fields can differ, even within the same farm. A properly collected sample and a suitable test can help describe selected soil properties and support more informed discussions about soil management.
Testing does not make the decision by itself. Crop choice, season, irrigation, field history and test interpretation all matter when planning next steps.
