The
Satisfaction
That Comes
From
Doing A
Good Job Of
Farming
It’s a great feeling to know that you are the
master of your farmlands . . . that when you
treat your soil right, it will treat you right.
Turning is one of the most important factors in
keeping your soil in the highest productive
range. By raising the pH from a level below
6.0 to 6.5 or higher, you can expect to harvest
.8 mere tons of alfalfa per acre, with similar
increases for all other forage and cash crops.
