Soil Consulting and Crop Consulting in Illinois. You may call it soil testing, soil sampling, or soil health management, but it is more than that. These are my daily or weekly travels in soil and crop consulting and my observations in the agricultural world.

Soil Moisture
So I have spent half the spring telling everyone how good our moisture is in my area. Today I worked in the Nutwood are west of Jerseyville. Some of the corn was showing moisture stress. Tillage, compaction, and planting date all seemed to play a role. Soil moisture is definitely on the dry side of adequate West of Jerseyville. I am sure everyone in this area is hoping that the forecast for rain on Sunday is correct. This is a contrast to the rest of the area. As recently as Tuesday, I saw someone pull into a field and then leave because it was too wet.
