Market Farming

["five springs farm" <fsfarm AT mufn.org>]

After trying several labs, we have settled on Cook's Consulting, RD#2 Box
13, Lowville NY 13367, 315-376-3002. We get organic recommendations, based
on a description of what soil amendments have already been used on the
field. By using the same lab each year the results are much more comparable
(different labs may have different procedures, and certainly will present
info in different ways). So once you find one you like, it is good to stay
with it.
