We work very closely with Logan Labs and analyze over 12,000 soil tests annually. Logan Labs is owned and operated by Susan Shaner who has over twenty five years of experience managing soil testing facilities for the golf course, sports turf and agriculture industries. With results from Logan Labs, Soil First Consulting agronomists, led by Jeff Flamisch, can evaluate basic soil issues, solubility concerns using water soluble paste extracts and determine limiting factors created by irrigation water. Soil First creates a complete evaluation of any soil and generates complete sustainable recommendations that can help any soil manager create a better and more sustainable environment to grow any plant.
