Why is a Soil Test Important?

A soil test is essential for understanding your soil's current health and nutrient status. It provides detailed information about the soil's pH, nutrient levels and organic matter content, helping farmers and ranchers identify deficiencies or imbalances that can impact crop and pasture productivity.

For regenerative farming, soil tests guide practices aimed at improving soil health, such as optimizing nutrient inputs, enhancing organic matter, and fostering microbial diversity. They also help monitor changes over time, allowing you to measure the success of your regenerative techniques like cover cropping, compost application, and holistic grazing.
