Deep Core Sampling away from the Tile to Investigate the Changes of Soil Properties



Changes in soil chemical and physical properties are determined by deep soil core sampling. A backhoe is used to completely expose the tile line during sampling. One sample is taken right above the tile and nine samples are taken at 8, 16, 32 inch away from the tile in a radial pattern. The collected soil samples from three sites will be sent to NDSU Soil Testing Lab for analysis.
