CAL has seen a large increase in the number of samples submitted. We have a goal of getting results to customers within two weeks, but right now it is taking longer.
Commercial labs will always be faster than we are. If you need results right away to make land management decisions, we recommend sending your samples to a private lab. You can find a list of labs in the OSU Extension Publication "Analytical Laboratories Serving Oregon" https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/em8677
CAL does maintain an APHIS compliance agreement for handling soils from some foreign countries, and regulated quarantined areas. If you are submitting samples from Curry County Oregon or anywhere outside of Oregon, you must call the lab prior to submission so that we can set up the appropriate labels needed for shipping and the sample handling protocol apon arrival.
