Fertilizing Some soils are very poor in important minerals. That is one reason why we have to fertilize. Another reason for fertilization is to get better crop. Fields have to be fertilized usually every year, because the nutrients get lost from the soil every time the crop is harvested and there are some other kinds of losses too like leaching or denitrification. A farmer told us that before you start to fertilize, you must set the spreader in balance. If you put more fertilizer into a spreader, you check that tires are not too soft because it can affect the soil. Its better that you have a pullet spreader than a pending spreader because there is less pressure on tires and that’s better for the soil.
