Soil Testing Services for Tupelo-Area Farms

Accurate soil analysis eliminates guesswork from fertility management. Tri‑State Livestock LLC. provides professional soil sampling and laboratory analysis throughout Lee County, delivering precise data that optimizes lime and fertilizer investments while boosting pasture productivity.

Why Soil Testing Matters

Tupelo-area soils vary significantly—some fields test high in phosphorus from decades of feeding, while back pastures show severe deficiencies. Without testing, you're either wasting money on unnecessary applications or starving fields that need fertility. Testing removes uncertainty, revealing exactly what your pastures require.

Common Lee County Findings

• Low pH limiting nutrient availability and clover establishment
• Phosphorus variability between sacrifice lots and remote fields
• Potassium depletion from hay removal without replacement
• Trace mineral shortfalls reducing yield potential

Our Sampling Process

We collect 15–20 representative cores per management unit (typically 10–15 acres), avoiding unusual spots. Samples are mixed, packaged, and submitted to accredited labs providing Southern regional recommendations. Results include pH, P, K, Ca, Mg, CEC, and organic matter.

Interpreting Results for Tupelo Farms

Raw lab numbers mean little without translation. We provide actionable recommendations: lime rates to reach pH 6.0–6.5, maintenance fertility for grazing vs. hay production, and timing guidance for optimal nutrient uptake. Coordinate with our application service for complete execution.

Tupelo Soil Testing Pricing

Standard analysis runs $15–$20 per sample including collection, lab fees, and interpretation. Most 100-acre operations need 7–10 samples. Micronutrient panels add $8–$12 per sample.

When to Sample

Late summer through fall provides stable pH readings. Avoid sampling within 6 weeks of lime or fertilizer applications. We schedule Lee County sampling August–November for best results.
