Questions on soil testing
I am planning on creating 4-8 foot plots on my property this upcoming spring.
I am wondering what I need to do to prepare the soil before I take a soil test? Or can I just take a soil test as the field sits with the grass on it? Or does it need to be tilled? Please help

Take the soil samples before working the plots. Here is a good guide on soil sampling: http://learningstore.uwex.edu/Assets/pdfs/A2100.pdf
