CHB can help you take and send in your soil samples, then walk you through what the results mean for your fields. From sampling to understanding your soil report, we’re here to help you make confident decisions for the season ahead.

Contact CHB Market & Ranch Services to get started.

Did you know that at a soil pH of 5, only 50% of applied fertilizer is available to crops, compared to 80% with a soil pH of 6?

That's why it's wise to adjust pH before fertilizer applications. Optimum nutrient uptake by most crops occurs at a soil pH between 6 and 7.

Learn more about the influence of soil pH on the rejuvenation of a forage stand in this article and podcast episode. ⬇️
