VAN’s published crop plans are general guides
Each plan is written for a typical crop on a typical soil, not for your own field. On every crop page, the plan can be adjusted to your soil test: in the Nutrition creator on 24 pages, and in the shopping list on the other 4. For a plan built for your own field, ask VAN on WhatsApp.
