Soil Testing for Better Pastures & Yields

Tri‑State Livestock LLC. provides practical soil testing and recommendations to improve forage quality and crop performance in North Mississippi, with service extending into nearby Tennessee and Alabama. Our guidance focuses on cost‑effective lime and fertilizer plans backed by real test data.

What You Get

• Clear pH, organic matter, and nutrient analysis (N‑P‑K, micros).
• Actionable amendment plan matched to acreage, budget, and goals.
• Timing guidance for applications to maximize uptake and ROI.

Sampling Notes

Zone‑based sampling helps target amendments and timing. Matching application to pH and nutrient levels reduces waste and supports forage persistence.

Service Area

Serving Corinth and greater North Mississippi, with select projects in parts of Tennessee and Alabama. Travel fees may apply outside our immediate area.

Pricing

Standard soil samples are typically $20–$35 per sample depending on lab panel and turnaround. A minimum trip fee (often $75–$100) may apply for small jobs to cover travel and time. Bundling with pasture consulting or hay testing reduces total cost and aligns recommendations across your operation.

North Mississippi Soil Notes

Our region often benefits from pH correction (lime) and targeted P‑K amendments. Trace minerals and organic matter management improve forage persistence, especially under heat and intermittent drought. We match amendment timing to rainfall and growth phases to avoid waste.

Preparation Checklist

• Identify management zones (pastures, hay fields, garden plots) for representative sampling.
• Note problem areas (poor growth, weeds, standing water, erosion).
• Share recent application history (fertilizer or lime) to refine interpretation.

FAQ

How often should I test?

Annually for intensive management; every 2–3 years for stable pastures. Test sooner after major changes or unexpected performance dips.

Will you pull samples or can I?

We can do either. Self‑sampling saves cost; we provide guidance for reliable results.

Do you advise lime type and rates?

Yes—we recommend type, rate, and application timing based on pH and buffer capacity, coordinating with spreaders when needed.
