Soil Testing Services
In a survey conducted some years ago, farmers were asked whether they believed that soil testing was something that should be used for raising better crops and improving soil fertility levels. 82% answered “yes”. When these same farmers were asked if they used soil tests, only 28% said” yes”!
Agriculture Soil Testing
In agriculture today, anecdotal evidence suggests the percentage has improved. To remain profitable in agriculture under present conditions, every farmer and grower should consider that fertility levels must be measured. These measurements can then be used to manage soil fertility to more precisely achieve top production and quality, while still keeping costs at the minimum necessary to meet the goal.

Soil Test Recommendation
6 Steps to a successful soil sample :
- 1. Get a trowel and a bucket. Be sure neither is rusty or made of galvanized (zinc-coated) metal, which could skew your results.
- 2. Scrape mulch and leaf litter from the soil surface. Dig out a wedge of soil about 6 to 8 inches deep, and set this wedge aside.
- 3. Now dig out a half-inch piece of soil from the hole and pour it into your bucket.
- 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 at least a half-dozen times in different parts of the farm or garden so that the soil sample represents your whole garden when mixed.
- 5. Use your trowel to mix the soil together thoroughly.
- 6. Fill the soil sample bag or container with the mixed soil, complete the paperwork and mail it all off to the lab.
