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.
