Soil Samples
Author: Chelsey Anderson
Planning Unit: Cumberland County CES
Major Program: Soil testing
Plan of Work: Livestock & Crops
Outcome: Initial Outcome
For the year 2020-2021, the Cumberland County Extension Office conducted a total of 176 soil samples. This is up 13 from the previous years. With COVID being in full swing during the 2020 growing season, it is believed that this increase is from more people wanting to grow their own fruits and vegetables. The overall amount may not seem like much, however, in total 18 were new clients who had never turned in samples prior to this year.
