[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 9520, member: 192"] Bar the odd blip the trend varied from block of land to block of land, rather than drastically from field to field. So home for example 12 fields tested produced similar results but you can see the difference between lighter clay loam through to the heavy clay. This was on the latest test which basically means to me that what we have done over the last 10 years cant be to far off otherwise the results would be more varied like they were before. I would also say we have seen a very steady increase in yield over than time, but not massive amounts so maybe 0.25t/ac up for wheat for example. Just to point out the soil sample sent in for each field was created by taking a small sample from 1ha grid squares but not using gps or recording the location points. So average field size of about 14 ha meant 14 samples went into the bag which was then sent off for a single result - hope that makes sense. So its not uber accurate but good enough for me when blanket applying compost out of muck spreaders and gypsum/slag out of lime spreaders. [/QUOTE]
