Home of the Comprehensive Assessment of Soil Health (CASH)
The Comprehensive Assessment of Soil Health is designed for farmers, gardeners, agricultural service providers, landscape managers and researchers who want to go beyond simply testing the nutrient levels of their soils. Our lab was the first to offer a commercial soil health test that provides standardized information on important soil biological and physical constraints in addition to standard nutrient analyses.
We have conducted over 10,000 soil health package analyses since rollout of the CASH assessment in 2006, half for commercial customers. In addition to providing laboratory results for each sample, we have developed a soil health management planning framework included that we include with our analysis report to help you focus soil-improvement management changes where they will be most effective.
Find details of the CASH assessment’s indicators and management strategies for improving soil health in the Comprehensive Assessment of Soil Health Training Manual, available free online. We also offer fact sheets about our lab’s specific tests and procedures.
