SOIL, COMPOST AND HAY/FORAGE TESTING
We have partnered with Brookside Laboratories, the most experienced Laboratory/Consultant association in North America, to offer an array of state of the science testing services including soil health testing, compost testing, and hay & forage analysis.
SOIL HEALTH
Accurate and comprehensive soil data is essential to create and manage healthy soils, which in turn lead to healthy pasture grasses and healthy horses. Our soil health testing uses an integrated approach to chemical and biological soil test data designed to mimic nature’s approach to soil nutrient availability. Our soil health test is designed to answer three essential questions:
​
1. What is your soil’s condition?
2. Is your soil in balance?
3. What can you do to help your soil?
COMPOST TESTING
Compost offers an exceptional source of nutrients and organic matter to improve soil health. Our partner lab participates in the National Compost Analysis Proficiency Program to ensure reliable and accurate testing, and our compost testing provides valuable info on Moisture, Organic Matter, Mineral Matter, N, C, N/C ratio, pH, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and B. Compost particle size and maturity can also be tested.
