[QUOTE="marco, post: 630306, member: 618"] well one major thing was in one particular field, always grew really good grass but always had a tendency to have a few dead lambs and more often than not a few dead ewes as well. when we got the kinsey soil sample back it had a note at the bottom that said, attention: K is above Mg! very very critical. so we spread kieserit on the field an have had no deaths this year and we know not to spread any slurry or K based fert on this field. Our fert spend hasn't gone up, we are just spending it in different ways. As for the other farmer he was finding a few fields that were reading good on a normal soil test but he wasn't happy with the yeilds, ie they were lower than fields with simular results. so he started by getting these fields kinsey tested and has followed the recomendation but as far as i know it took two years before he saw an increase. But then this same farmer is notilling and strip tilling and as you said he probably has a greater interest in soils and soil fertility because he's interested in strip-till/no-till etc. [/QUOTE]
