Good Afternoon,
Thanks for your question. I don't think the local extension offices accept soil samples.
Here is a link to submitting a soil sample to the lab in St. Paul: https://extension.umn.edu/managing-soil-and-nutrients/soil-testing-lawns-and-gardens This link includes a form to print out to submit with your samples. I put mine in a double baggie and send it inside a brown envelope.
They will send your results by email if you give them an email address.

Good Luck!
