Soil and forage samples assist you in making best practice decisions for the health of your crops and livestock. Parterning with the K-State Soil Testing Lab, Geary County producers can drop your sample off at our office (119 E. 9th Street, Junction City, KS 66441) where we will assist you in filling out the necessary paper work before delivering the sample to Manhattan and notifying you when results are provided.
With the generational turnover of agricultural land, current producers are connecting with owners to keep land in production. Both parties often request data regarding current lease value and example agreements that could be used between parties. We recommend creating a written lease to protect all parties involved in land and livestock leases.
Producers and business owners looking to test for their private or commercial pesticide licences may start at the Geary County Extension Office. With study materials available for purchase or print, as well as the ability to test new private applicators and sign new commercial applicators up for testing sites across the state, our office can serve you.
