Forage
and soil fertility and management is an often
overlooked part of the cow/calf business.
Cattle, fences, and feeding are day to day
objectives that we think about often, but
soil and forages are taken for granted. When
your farm is involved with SMCC that will
all change.
SMCC
will take annual soil samples in every field,
and have them analyzed. The owner/producers
will receive copies of all of the reports.
Based on the soil reports, SMCC will calculate
and if needed, find the best products at the
lowest cost. We will even help schedule the
application of lime, fertilizer, or other
products.
Forage
samples will be taken in the fall after all
hay has been harvested. This will help SMCC
and each producer determine if supplementation
is necessary in the winter. If there has been
a bad year for hay, part of SMCC's job is
to find each and every producer a low cost
solution. In reverse, if there has been a
bumper crop of hay, then SMCC will find buyers
for the extra hay to supplement the producer's
normal income.
All
of these detail oriented services, are part
of being a client with SMCC. You will not
pay any more for them. If more testing is
required of soil, water, bi-products or live
forages, it is available for a nominal fee.
