Learn how to correctly take soil samples to be submitted for Soil Health Testing for NRCS program participation!

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), Chesapeake Bay Foundation and Prince George’s Soil Conservation District welcome you to attend a Soil Health Test Sampling Training on Friday, May 29th at Clagett Farm in Upper Marlboro, MD. This training is for Southern Maryland farmers interested in learning how to correctly take soil samples to be submitted for Soil Health Testing (this includes the Cornell Soil Health test and similar tests). This training is particularly geared toward training farmers and “Qualified Individuals” who are completing Soil Health Testing(216) as part of a contract with NRCS’s Regenerative Ag Pilot Program.

NRCS Soil Scientists will provide in-field training and demonstrations of sampling techniques and procedures for collecting and evaluating soil samples. These tests can be a helpful tool for farmers looking to improve their soil health. This type of testing goes beyond typical sampling methods for traditional nutrient management samples.
