Since 2013, we sampled fields in Calhoun Refugio and Victoria Counties and found soil nitrogen levels ranging between 11 and 168 lbs N per acre.\u00a0 In a time when farm budgets are being squeezed tightly, this can be a opportunity to reducing costs without affecting yields.\u00a0 You may find this service from several different sources including your IPM program in Calhoun, Refugio and Victoria Counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
