Bedias Creek SWCD Soil Test Incentive Program

The Bedias Creek SWCD will assist producers, within the District area, with the cost of soil testing. The SWCD includes Leon County, Madison County, and the Northern quarter of Grimes County.

Testing must be completed through Texas A&M Soil, Water and Forage Testing Lab.

Sample forms and bags are available at the Bedias Creek SWCD office, and the Agri-life Extension office in Leon and Madison Counties.

Soil testing must be completed in accordance with NRCS, and TSSWCB standards where applicable. The $10 ‘Routine Analysis’ will be accepted for cost assistance.

The first three samples of soil will be paid for through the Bedias Creek SWCD, as funds are available. This assistance is valid for a 12 month period per operation.

Soil samples must be approved through the Bedias Creek SWCD. All soil samples must be received by the Leon or Madison County Agri-life Extension office or the Bedias Creek SWCD offices starting Oct. 1, 2009 - Nov. 10, 2009 to be eligible.
