About this episode

In this episode, Scott Gillespie discusses the importance of soil testing as an investment that can lead to significant savings in fertilizer costs.

Soil testing isn’t an expense—it’s an investment. In my latest Better Farming Prairies article, I share how a few dollars per acre in testing can save thousands in fertilizer costs and help you make smarter, better-timed decisions.
