Good Morning Lynn,
We still have a soil testing program. Due to extenuating circumstances MSU Soil Lab has shut down but MSUE/MSU understand the importance of this service so we have put together a new soil testing program. We have contracted with a reputable licensed lab to run the analysis and MSUE staff still make soil recommendations.
You can pick up a commercial soil test at your local MSU Extension office. If for some reason you can not pick one up please contact the MSU Soil Testing email, <personal data hidden>.
Thank you
