Labs that Conduct Soil Health Tests for NRCS CEMA 216

Soil testing can help producers understand what their land needs to function well. Soil fertility testing is a common practice to assess nutrient availability. Soil health testing is a more recent NRCS practice to help monitor soil health processes and indicators, including changes in soil structure, nutrient cycling, and water infiltration that might result from the use of cover crops. This document is provided to help producers select labs and soil health tests.
