SOIL SAMPLE EARLY
Beginning this year, the NCDA&CS will charge $4 per sample during the peak season (Nov 28 – Mar 31). I hope you’ll agree that this is still an incredible value! And you can still get samples analyzed for free by submitting before the end of November each year! More details here: http://www.ncagr.gov/paffairs/release/2013/8-13test-soils-early.htm
