Understanding Your Soil Test

Clemson Soils lab manager, Shannon Alford, and Area Extension Specialist, Kerrie Roach, will provide detailed information on how to take a soil sample, interpret the results and make decisions on soil amendments based on those results during the class on Thursday.  There will be snacks and hot cider available! 

 

This class is exclusively for New and Beginning Farmer program participants and we hope you get all the information you need.  If you have had a soil test done already please feel free to bring it along with your questions!   We will have other examples of soil tests for you to review as well during the training.
