Subject: soil sample analysis fees begin november 27, 2013

The Chatham County Cooperative Extension office would like to make all of our homeowners, producers, and community clientele aware of legislation that may be pertinent to many of them.

With passage of SESSION LAW 2013-360 SENATE BILL 402, the North Carolina legislature has imposed a $4 fee for all soil samples processed by the NCDA&CS Agronomic Division during its busiest season of December through March.  Currently, soil sample analysis is provided at no direct cost to North Carolina residents.

This year, December 1st falls on a Sunday and is preceded by the Thanksgiving holiday.  As a result, soil samples will be received in the Chatham office for free analysis until Friday, November 22nd, 2013; this deadline will ensure prompt delivery to Raleigh before the Thanksgiving holiday.  Please note that a fee will be imposed on samples after November 27th, 2013 until April 1st, 2014.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.
