RVACitrus, I couldn't agree more with what you said. It's definitely a weak link. Different soil types and other things we probably don't even know about cause erroneous answers, often unintentional. Magic like Dumbo's feather usually don't work. However I do believe in the placebo affect ! That's where the confusion comes into the equation.
Old proverb from somewhere : 'the best fertilizer is the master's footprint'. When I was farming I read an article about farming by looking out your windshield. That doesn't work and gives a false sense of security. You must get out and look at what's going on. A quick ride by isn't going to get the job done.
Daddy said long ago, ' if you could take out the economics of real estate development, given enough time, the best farmers would end up with the best land every time everywhere '. The older I get the more I think there is no doubt about it.
