Ohio Pork Council Offering Discounted Soil and Manure Samples for Ohio Pig Farmers

The Ohio Pork Council is pleased to announce its partnership with Brookside Laboratories to provide discounted soil and manure samples for all Ohio pig farmers.

In an effort to help farmers better utilize their resources, Brookside Laboratories has generously offered to provide soil samples for $3/sample and manure samples for $20/sample for all farmers.

To qualify for the discount, pork farmers must complete the following survey: www.ohiopork.org/soilsample.

Once completed, farmers will be provided an email with further instructions, a unique identifying code and an order form to be submitted with their soil and manure samples. Soil sample bags and manure containers will be provided through select integrators and county extension offices for farmers to use in this process.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Ohio’s pork farmers as they work towards continual improvement of water quality and best nutrient management practices,” said Luke Baker Ph.D., President/CEO of Brookside Laboratories.

“This partnership is yet another example of how Ohio agriculture is joining together to achieve common sense solutions to complex problems, like water quality and nutrient management,” said Rich Deaton, President, Ohio Pork Council.
