Autumn is one of the better times to collect a soil sample and get it sent to the lab. The Extension Office is just one of many resources to help get this done. We have soil test kits ready at the office available for $9.
We loan soil core probes for a $10 deposit, returned on receipt of the tool back to the office.
One of many services OSU Extension offers in Muskingum County is easy access to soil testing resources. Our soil test program is based on the resources provided by the Penn State Agricultural Analytical Services Lab, University Park, Pennsylvania. As a part of our service, we provide assistance interpreting results of your soil test.
For years, this service was offered by provided soil testing kits to customers who came into the office. Today, the current social circumstances put us in a temporary office closure. What can we do in the meantime? The steps and links below will provide you with the same basic resources. Be sure to read and follow directions on the sample submission forms closely.
These submission forms are pre-filled with an address block so that a copy of the results will automatically be sent to the Muskingum County Extension Office and a copy will be delivered to the address you provide.
