Soil Sampling

Farms take soil samples to determine nutrient levels in their fields. It is recommended to take a sample from every field. Larger fields require one sample per 20 acres, and are usually collected based on topography within the field.

Ex. You have a field that is 86 acres. How many soil samples will be needed from that field?

86/20= 4-5 samples depending on the topography/layout of the field.
