Clinton County Extension offers soil samples

Once you understand what’s going on below the surface, you can apply fertilizers with confidence. Both the amount and type of nutrients applied are crucial. Not enough can limit production. Too much can be harmful and a waste money. The wrong combination of nutrients can leave plants wanting more.

Clinton County University of Missouri Extension offers soil testing services at its office in Plattsburg that will give you the information you need for a great growing season. For a handy informational flyer on how to take the best soil sample, email mowens@missouri. edu or call 816-933-2138.
