Default Soil Tests, How to obtain a sample?

I need some assistance from the professionals. I plan on taking some samples of soil this weekend and then to the lab for testing. I need some how to help:

1) How deep should I collect the sample from? The top, six inches down, etc.

2) After taking each sample, what should I place it in?

3) How much soil is needed for a sample?

Any other tips would be helpful.

Thanks,

Kyler

Farm,

Thanks for the info. I am sure I will be hitting you up in the future when I get the results from the tests.

Contact your local ag agent or co-op. They will have the necessary procedure for your area... What state are you in?

Lunch Bucket,

Sorry for the delay, I was gone for a few days. Wisconsin. I plan on going to the property in two weeks to get the samples. Thanks for the info.
