Where do I send the soil samples?

Soil samples will be sent to Brookside Laboratories, Inc., one of the pre-eminent soils and feed labs in the country. A return, self-addressed sample box will be included in the soils or forage test kit.

The laboratory has the latest in scientific equipment and is a leading force in the world of soils and soil analysis. Many state universities use Brookside as their source of analytical data for their research projects because this laboratory is accurate, fast, and unbiased. Brookside was the first commercial Laboratory to use the ICP (Inductive Coupled Plasma) to analysis soil samples. Today, they have installed the newest of hi-tech ICP equipment to be able to increase the accuracy of the analysis done. Brookside was the first Laboratory to be certified by the USGA to run all the different kinds of analytical work used in the turf industry. Today, they lead that industry with most all highly rated Golf courses across the world using Brookside's analytical work. All of this work is done through Consultants. No individual farmer, fertilizer company nor golf course can use the lab directly. To learn more about our experienced soil consultant Bob Boehle, visit Our Qualifications page.
