Fertilizer Planning & Application – Ripley
Tri‑State Livestock LLC. converts soil test data into staged nutrient plans—stretching dollars while sustaining forage quality for Ripley cattle herds.
Strategic Approach
- Split Nitrogen: Timed to ryegrass flush then late spring fescue boost.
- Balanced P & K: Prioritized where hay removal depletes reserves.
- Lime Scheduling: Applied ahead of clover renovation for maximum nodulation.
Environmental Care
Avoid runoff on saturated slopes; calibrate spreaders to prevent streaking. Variable rate recommendations reduce excess nutrient concentration in riparian zones.
Ripley Pricing
$185–$345 per plan depending on acreage, sampling density, and mapping detail. Includes nutrient calendar and rate chart.
