When you guys soil test, where do you take it from? Do you pick one representative spot every year? Or just go around the whole field in different spots?

Do you try to avoid the seedrow or the band where your fertilizer was last year? It will skew your results greatly to the high side if you hit last years P and K fertilizer bands more often and show results lower than realistic if you try to avoid those bands.
Even in a year where the N is not all used, it may affect your results.
In my case, I mid row band, so the mid row is 2x as strong as a normal side banding knife because there are 1/2 as many of them. It greatly affects the soil test, and I am never sure how to handle these fields when sampling.
