Our grass hay recommendations have always been designed for farmers who cut and baled cool-season grasses like smooth brome and orchardgrass. We have been getting more requests for grazing versions of our main crops so we just added Pasture recommendations. Our pasture grass recommendation applies a nitrogen manure credit automatically.

Crops we can currently provide fertilizer recommendations for: Alfalfa, Alfalfa New Seeding, Corn Silage, Sugar Beets, Corn Grain, New Turf (turfgrass), Grass (hay), Grass80 (80%Grass, 20% Legume), Grass40, Triticale, Wet Silage Triticale, Vegetable Garden, Wheat, Carrots, Hemp, Dryland Grass, Dryland Sorghum forage, Irrigated Oats, Dryland Wheat, Pinto Beans, Hopps, Potatoes, Sunflowers, Irrigated Sorghum-Sudan, Dryland Sorghum-Sudan forage, Millet, Dryland Small Grain, Cole Crops, Onions, Malting Barley, Tomatoes, Dryland Proso Millet, Dryland Alfalfa, Dryland Corn, Dryland Sunflowers, Established Turf (turfgrass), Feed Barley, Buckwheat, Clover, Fruit Trees, Cherry Trees, Preplant Grape Vineyard, Dryland Oats, Dryland Milo-Grain Sorghum, Peppers, Sainfoin, Native Grass (buffalograss, blue grama for reclamation), Winter Squash, Maple Trees, Dryland Triticale, Pasture Grass, Mountain Meadow Pasture (higher elevation).

We have simplified the Lawn and Garden soil reports to be easier to read.

If you have read our guide on Understanding Soil and your Lab Report you are familiar with our method of interpreting farm soil “Vs. our average Ag. Soil.” Basically we average all of the cultivated farm soil and compare the submitted samples to this average.

Our new Lawn and Garden reports interpret the soil directly. Eg. your soil pH won’t say “low” it will say “acidic.” Your salts won’t say “Avg” they will say “Normal.” Perhaps most importantly when nutrient levels are too high the reports say “too high.” Patience is important when fertilizing your lawn or garden. Good soil takes time to build.
