The Cornell Nutrient Analyses Laboratory annually analyzes 20,000 to 25,000 samples for commercial production as well as for homes and gardens. In January of 2003, we embarked on a project that aimed to summarize the soil fertility status of 56 New York State counties using 1995-2001 data. After 18 months of work, the last soil fertility summaries were finished in July 2004. In June 2007, we started our second series of summaries (2002-2006 CNAL data).
