Both of these fields were planted on the same day (8/27), using the same mix (Wildlife Perfect Grazing Mix with 10% brown top millet added in), with the same fertilizer (10-20-20 to achieve a 50/75/75 lbs/acre NPK). The pics were taken on 10/2.

The difference?

The field on the left had a starting pH of 5.0 and the field on the right had a pH of 6.3. We limed the one on the left in April with 2.25 tons/acre and left the other one alone. I need to take another sample but I'm guessing the pH is still somewhere below 6.0.



We're seeing the same thing in the brassica fields. The field on the left had a starting pH of 4.9 and the other one had a pH of 6.0. We hit the lower one with 4 tons per acre and the higher one with 1.25 tons back in April.
