Fertilizer & Ag Supply FAQs | Highland Growers LLC

Do I need a soil test before buying fertilizer?
We highly recommend it. A soil test ensures you're applying the right nutrients in the right amounts, saving money and improving results.
Can you spread the fertilizer for me?
Yes. We offer professional spreading services using GPS and rate-controlled equipment. We also rent spreaders for self-application when available.
Do you offer custom fertilizer blends?
Absolutely. We custom-mix fertilizer based on your soil test results, crop goals, and application method.
Can I buy fertilizer in bags or bulk?
Yes. We offer both bagged fertilizer for small applications and bulk blends for large-acre farms or plots.

How do I take a soil sample?
Use a clean spade or soil probe to collect 10–15 samples from the target area, 4–6 inches deep. Mix them together in a clean bucket and bring about a pint to our store.
How long does it take to get soil test results?
Typically 7–10 business days, depending on lab volume. Once results are back, we’ll help you interpret them and recommend a custom fertilizer plan.
What’s included in your nutrient recommendation?
You'll receive a detailed breakdown of NPK needs, lime requirements (if pH is off), and any necessary micronutrients — tailored to your crop or land use.

What kind of seed do you carry?
We carry seed for pastures, forage, lawn, wildlife food plots, gardens, and cover crops — including regionally adapted blends and custom mixes.
Do you sell wildlife food plot seed?
Yes. We offer a wide selection of seed blends for deer, turkey, dove, and other wildlife, as well as planting guidance and fertilizer support.
Can I buy seed in small quantities?
Yes. We sell seed by the pound, in bags, or bulk — ideal for everything from small plots to large fields.
When should I plant food plots in Louisiana?
Fall plots are typically planted between September and November, while warm-season plots go in between March and May. Timing may vary based on rainfall and soil conditions.
