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. Soil samples can then be sent to the University of Minnesota Soil Testing Lab or to a private company (e.g. AGVISE Laboratories - Soil Analysis).

Be sure to review the recommended analyses in the North Dakota Fertilizer Recommendation Tables and Equations publication.
