midwestlabs.com is one place to start, alot of others use a and l but I don't know the contact info right off hand but I think there is a link to it under one of the posts in the Soil Preperation threads. Cost is around $36 I believe.

do you have a soil and water conservation office in sweden ? or other farm related office as i'm sure trying to send soil through the mail to the u.s. would take forever to clear customs ... and even here in the states my 1st soil test was destroyed by the dea and post office as they couldn't indentify what type of drug it was .... with a check made out to the lab a note explaining that the test i wanted done was for giant pumpkins and to please contact me if i hadn't enclosed enough funds and soil in a "soil test bag" filled to the line just like in the instructions.... so big brother is watching and at times dumber than a box of rocks

Albin, I´m from Germany and also searching for a lab for soil analysis. The German standard procedures have no analysis of CEC and base saturation. I contacted A&L Labs Ontario but it seems impossible to send soil samples to North america ! They gave me a adress in the UK with similar analysis mail me at bernhard.preis@web.de.
Randy in walton, could you perhaps mail me too ?
