Cost of Soil Sampling

Tomjim · 2024-01-02 12:57:30

As part of the ACRES scheme, Teagasc did my soil sampling and have charged me 297 euros including VAT at 13.5% I only have 20 hectares and I assume they sampled 5 parcels or so. It seems very expensive to me.

Think it's 15 per sample Grennan charges to send them off if you take samples

Will Grennan's provide a full analysis of the sample results (that is what you can apply). Some of the companies just send the samples to the lab and the results are sent to the farmer and you have to go elsewhere to get them analysed.

Did you get the results?? Only reason I ask is that I am also with Teagasc and paid something similar back last Sept / Early October but i received no results.
