How is this for quick turnaroud?
I mailed my 6 soil samples to Waypoint Analytical, Inc, in Memphis, TN from the Norway, MI Post Office at 4:07 PM on Tuesday, May 15th. (Priority Mail - $13.50)
At 4:37 PM on Thursday, May 17th (48 hours later), I received an email from Waypoint indicating that they had received my package.
At 1:34 PM on Friday, May 18th Waypoint Analytical emailed me my soil sample results.
Only 69 hours and 27 minutes after I mailed them.
These tests were all the Basic S1M test which costs $10 each (up from $8 each last year).
The results include:
Soil PH, P, K, Ca, Mg, OM, CEC, % Saturation for K, CA & Mg, K/Mg ratio and Ca/Mg ratio. They also give you Soil Fertility Guidelines for both lime and fertilizers in lbs/acre along with the yield goal for up to 2 different crops. I typically do ask for 2 fertilizer recommendations for some of my plots because I rotate my beans and sugar beets around in the same fields.
I am a happy customer.
