Hello, a customer called and would like to know if she can have her liquid fertilizer analyzed. She owns a farm and wants to know the ingredients that is in the liquid fertilizer she puts on her crops. She does not know the name of the fertilizer. Is there a lab that can analyze the liquid fertilizer? Thanks.

Good Morning,
By law if a fertilizer is sold there has to be a nutrient content label. If there is not I would strongly suggest that they look at other fertilizer sources. If the customer still wants to use the fertilizer there are labs available. One lab is Wards Lab, https://www.wardlab.com/services/fertilizer-lime-analysis/, however I would have them do a quick google search asking for costs and nutrient analysis.
