Do any of you do soil samples?

Years back the state agricultural bunch started offering the bags and testing for free to get your ph levels right.

It made a good bit of difference for some food plots in the lease.

Our state has county agricultural offices that are an extension of Clemson University (ag based) that will do soil samples. Our former farmland (now planted in tree farms) was excellent, as long as we rotated crops every so often. The legend in our county was that we didn't sell land by the acre, but by the pound. We have excellent, fertile soil here. And apparently the same for trees. We have a hybrid super-tree nursery (originally International Paper) a quarter mile from one of our tracts. The site was chosen as the best they could find in the nation for pine growth.

Yep we do. We are required by the dnr to update our manure management plan, and soil tests are part of that equation to make sure the phosphorus levels do not become to high in fields, to prevent leaching into water sources.
