Samples MUST be submitted in an official NCDA&CS soil box. These are available from NCDA&CS Agronomic Services Division office in Raleigh, county Cooperative Extension offices, or some counties may have hardware stores that have boxes.

Extremely wet soils are difficult to collect and mix.  Soil too wet to till or plant is too wet to sample. Therefore, allow soil to drain before sampling.

*Moist soil is ok to submit.
