One thing to watch. We cut out the P one year because the soils tested very high. We lost about 15 bu on the beans so we put on what comes off at a minimum.
On the better soils yielding more my yields are pretty consistent across the board. We have brought the yield on the poor up to the yield on the good. However I haven't been able to increase the good.

I went to grid sampling many years ago mainly for lime. Make sure if you do go to grid, find out who owns the data. I had the local Harvest Land Co-op do mine all these years and when I asked who owned the data, they told me I did. When I asked for the soil maps to be emailed to me, they replied that they were too big to email, which is a lie. Basically they didn't want to give them up even though I paid for them all these years. I'd definitely go with a company that just charges you for the testing and gives you the results, not the local co-op that claims to do it all

I use Midwest labs in Omaha. They are in the yellow pages. Easy to deal with. They will mail you sample bags and if you visit with them a few minutes they will tell you what you need to know.
