Terramap.

I use Lancrop

Have you used anyone previously? It's usually recommended that you use the same lab each time for consistency.

I am growing higher value crops so I need a more detailed analysis than the guy who does the lime for me.

Have you not samples for nutrients previously?

Lime testing is rarely reliable by lab analysis anyway so is a different process.

Yara/Lancrop. What they can't test for isn't worth testing for IMO.

I used to use broad spectrum tests just to make sure I was aware of any potential issues that might crop up later.

The pH of soil samples sent to Lancrop is determined with proper wet chemistry so should be as reliable as the sample you send in.

Get results emailed back within a day or two. Good service. Done with mass spectrometer so results are about as accurate as you will get.

The other alternative would be NRM or Sciantec who I used to use for feedstuff analysis and the like.
