Just an FYI - Soil and Plant testing at the UMASS extension has been suspended until further notice per email I received from them.

Stay safe everyone!

I just got word from Susan Shaner, owner of Logan Labs, and she says that they are open and testing for as long as they are able.

I think that this Coronavirus is going to be with us for a much longer time than we're thinking. If you want to get a 2020 soil test (and you may have plenty of time at home to work on it), I'd get it sooner rather than wait. I'm hearing from friends/people at the pharma companies, and they're saying that this isn't a thing of "weeks". I've worked at 9-10 pharmas, and the message is the same.

Thanks for the update; collected my soil before I put down my pre-m. With everything going on I was curious how long the labs might stay open.

Glad I got my sample out this week.

I was worried about this and sent my Logan Labs sample out on Monday 3/16 but USPS hasn’t updated tracking since Wednesday. It’s been stuck at the regional metro NY distribution center. I sent USPS a message so I hope they find it soon.
