Yes, we take soil samples at least twice a year.
The "K" has been way short and we have been putting out 3000lbs of 0-0-60 on a 7.5 acre hayfield (according to the advice from our ag agent) in the spring and sometimes again in the fall. We've been doing this for several years and the "K" is getting close to where it should be.
The area we did in 2009 got extra attention and it looked really good the first growing season. Healthy, thick and outgrew the rest of the field. But like I said, it seems to have winter killed. You can spot this particular area because the little bit of Cheyenne that is still there is a darker green than the rest of the field.
Generally, about early May we put out 3000lbs of 21-7-14 for the growing season.
In the fall we'll take another soil sample to tell us how much of the "K" was used up.
I always give our ag agent a call when we get the results of the soil sample and we discuss what we need for the next fertilizing.
