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 1995-2001 soil fertility summaries were finished in July 2004. In June 2007, we started our second series of summaries (2002-2006 CNAL data) and completed the series with the New York City soil test summary in March 2008:

in putting these summaries together! This series was awarded the "Outstanding New Publication Award" by the NYS Association of County Agricultural Extension Educators (NYSACAA).
