Soil Testing

Check out our new soil testing fact sheet from OSU Extension. Click Here

 

Soil tests are like a “blood test” for soil, offering valuable insights into its health. They are an affordable way to maintain plant health in urban areas and optimize productivity in nurseries, gardens, and fruit crops. Based on test results, recommendations can save time and money while preventing excessive fertilizer use, protecting the environment. Soil tests also aid in plant selection and contribute to diagnostics. Don't Guess Soil Test!

  5. Online Goat and Sheep Tag In

    Apr. 22, 2020

    Goat and Sheep Exhibitors There will NOT be a face to face TAG IN this year! Instead the fair board is asking that you to take pictures of your scrapie tags and upload them to 4-H Online! (This is just like we did with the hog pictures last year) You should upload two pictures of the same animal - one should be a head shot showing the scrapie tag in the ear and the numbers need to be readable. The other should be a close up of the same animal's tag in the ear, so that we can ID then numbers! There is also a place on 4-H online for you to type in those same numbers!

  6. Stay connected!

    Apr. 14, 2020
