[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 5303, member: 192"] We had our first albrect test in 2001 and it got me looking at balances and specific things. So we started to target certain things other than N,P,K & PH. We then started precision sampling and did two runs of that (2005 and again in 2011). However last year I gave in and albrect tested every single field just using a random sampling pattern so not precision sampling. I then compared those results with the precision sampling of 2011 and to be honest there are hardly any differences with the main things. The albrect route however was a lot cheaper because we were not bothered about grid squares and creating precision spreading files. This time after the albrect results arrived I took some better advice than last time and now have a 10 year plan which only uses readily available products that are affordable. The goal is to try to balance the soil because get your soil right means a healthier plant as far as I am concerned. So what I would say after 12 years of phaffing around just because somebody told you something at a seminar that you paid a lot of money to attend does not mean its right for your soils. Without doubt the idea of what he says make sense but your knowledge of your soil far exceeds Kinseys knowledge of your soil. He has a well rounded view but cannot be specific to your own situation.
