November Soil Campaign continues

COLORADO COUNTY — Growing better quality hay and pasture grass is a major goal of all hay and livestock producers. Starting with a soil test is the most important step to determining the amount of fertilizer needed each year.

Producers should consider soil testing as an investment in this year’s hay and pasture, because the correct amounts and timing of fertilization can greatly enhance hay quality and growth.

Nov. 3 through Nov. 21 has been set as the time for all Colorado County landowners to participate in the soil testing campaign for this year’s hay meadows, pastureland and row crop fields.
