Soil Testing

Do you ever wonder why certain crops don't grow as well in some fields in comparison to other fields or why your garden struggles to grow certain vegetables or flowers?

NDSU Extension agents can help you collect a soil sample from your garden or field to find out what your soil needs. 

Many Extension county offices offer soil sample bags and/or soil sample probes to help you collect field samples. Samples can then be sent to a private soil testing lab for processing. Check with your agent for recommendations in your area.

For more information on soil sampling and analysis, contact your county NDSU Extension office.
