Healthy pastures start with healthy soil
Warm-season grasses like Big Bluestem, Switchgrass and Bermuda thrive in Missouri—but only if your soil is ready. Soil testing is a non-negotiable step in forage management. It helps identify pH imbalances and nutrient needs, ensuring your livestock get the most nutritious forage possible.
Test every 3 years (Feb–March)
Aim for pH 6.0–6.5
Fertilize when grasses are actively growing (April–June)Without proper soil testing, fertilizer can be wasted, forage can struggle and yields can drop. Give your land what it needs—test, treat and thrive.
