A Soil Health Assessment can be used annually to measure soil health and the impact of management practices over time. Samples should generally be taken at the same time of year and from the same location if possible or similar location.

 

If your soil is from a known county/area that has a Soil-Borne disease (example Clubroot), please notify staff so as not to spread any soil-borne diseases and to ensure proper quarantine Protocols are followed.
