We will collect samples at the Lake Season Kick-off and deliver to the University of Missouri Extension for analysis.
The actual test will not be done at the event.
The test costs $20 per sample -- No need to bring money, the WLIC can invoice you. However the first 10 people to submit a sample (one per household) will receive their test results free!
Taking a soil sample : - Cut a piece of soil out about 1 inch in diameter and 5 inches deep. The WLIC has a tool available if you would like to borrow it. Stop by the WLIC offices between 8 and 2 pm to pick it up.
- Choose a place on your property that is central. Avoid "problem areas" unless you want to have multiple tests done.
- Place the sample(s) in a paper bag (avoid plastic, glass or metal containers).
- Bring your sample to the event on June 5th!
- We arrange for delivery and testing of your sample. If you would prefer to fill out the form ahead of time click here for instructions. Click here for the form.
