 Hi George,
 
 Does it make any difference if the sample is taken in the fall or in early
 Spring?
 I had called the agency in our area and they said I could bring the sample
 in this Spring. 
 
 While I'm at it, I want to thank those who helped and offered to help me
 with my new scanner. I have also met a nice new friend. We exchange photos.
 It's great!!!
 
 Thanks again,

Good question!  The soil pH may change a little during the winter if it is
thawed and you get a lot of rain.  Nitrogen levels will definitely drop, but
I allow for that.  I take it in the fall and test it over the winter to make
sure I don't forget.  In the Spring it is so busy and the Soil Labs are
running behind.
