Update on the Soil Testing Challenge: Fall 2011
12/08/2011 09:23
88 soil
samples were entered into our Soil Testing Challenge
this past October. In general the results
demonstrated that many of the San
Juan County garden samples showed "high to excessive
nutrient levels." On the other
hand nutrient
levels in San Juan County pastures were
low.
A great big thank you to Craig Simson and his staff at the AgSource Soil Testing Lab for teaming with the San Juan Islands Conservation District and San Juan County WSU Extension to sponsor the San Juan County Soil Test Challenge: AgSource Laboratories, Umatilla, Oregon

The Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) Spokane District is preparing a
resource management plan (RMP) and associated environmental impact
statement (EIS) for 425,000 acres of public lands in Eastern Washington
and the San Juan Archipelago in Washington State.
This plan will guide future management of these lands and will allocate
lands and identify constraints for uses, to include livestock grazing.
The BLM is currently developing alternatives for the RMP/EIS and would
like to hear your suggestions during an upcoming public workshop.
Aug 27 - Friday Harbor - Mullis Senior Center, 589 Nash St
More information about the workshops and the RMP process is available on
the project website at www.blm.gov/or/districts/spokane/plans/ewsjrmp

You need a plug-in for a Mac to enable Quicktime player. Or, see it on a PC using Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player 11.
It is streaming from a long way off so it is rather broken up unless you have a BIG PIPE!
