Extension Bulletins and MontGuides are more extensive guides to soil fertility topics, compared to our shorter Soil Scoops which condense information for quicker reading. This page lists EBs and MontGuides produced by the soil fertility Extension program, but there are many other relevant guides on soil topics published on the MSU Extension Publications Catalog site. SEARCH Clain's websites to find information on specific topics.
