Testing Brix levels in your pasture, fruits and vegetables is a handy tool for not only giving you a quality assessment but as a management tool for assessing your practices. So, what is Brix?

Adolf Brix was a German chemist in the 1800’s who first figured out how to measure the density of plant juices by floating a hydrometer in them. This was of great value to wine growers as they could then figure out which grapes would make the best wine.
