Step 1: Purchase Soil Sample Submittal Form
Step 2: Check Your Email And Print Required Documents
Your Soil Sample Submittal Form AND receipt will be sent to your email. Print BOTH your Soil Sample Submittal Form and your receipt (for proof of purchase).
Step 3: Collect Your Soil Sample
You’ll need:
- A shovel or soil probe
- A bucket
- A sturdy Ziploc bag
1. Take small, random samples from several spots in the area you plan to plant your food plot. The larger the area, the more samples you should take.
2. Combine all the samples in the bucket and mix the soil thoroughly.
3. Scoop at least 1 cup of the well-mixed soil into a Ziploc bag.
Step 4: Fill Out the Soil Sample Submittal Form
Include the following information:
- YOUR ORDER NUMBER FROM YOUR RECEIPT AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SOIL SAMPLES ORDERED.
- Your name, address, phone number, and email.
- Whether the sample is from an existing food plot or a new one.
- A name for your field (6 characters or less); write this clearly with permanent marker on the Ziploc bag as well as the Submittal Form.
- The state where the plot is located.
- Preferred delivery method for results (email is recommended for faster turnaround—usually within a few business days after the lab receives your sample)
- The crop(s) you plan to grow—select up to two. If your crop isn’t listed (e.g., corn or soybeans), write it in the space provided.
Step 5: Attach the Soil Sample Submittal Form and Proof of Purchase to Your Sample
Securely attach the completed form to the matching Ziploc bag using a rubber band or stapler. If stapling, be careful not to puncture the bag. IMPORTANT - You must also attach your receipt/proof of purchase to the soil sample. We suggest rubber banding the documents to the Ziploc bag.
Step 6: Prepare for Shipping
Place your soil sample(s), with forms attached, into a box. You can include multiple samples in the same box. Pack tightly to minimize movement and prevent bags from tearing or opening.

Soil sample
PA soil sample was so much better than the last 3. Very happy with the turn around time and Jason helping me get the results via email.

Soil sample
PA Submitting was simple and clear. Didn't like not getting the results via email as I should've. Had to contact y'all to get the results. If they were sent I never received them. I check my emails regularly and keep my inbox, spam and trash bins clean and organized. Might want to put in the subject line Magnet Soil Results or something like this if it were to go to spam. Only reason for a 4 star vs a 5 star review. Ordering 2 more today.

Soil testing service
Inexpensive, fast (2-day turnaround). Used the recommendations and our plots look better than ever. If your customers aren't soil testing they are wasting their money.

Soit test
We used magnet outdoors soil testing for the first time this year and I am impressed. I got results quick and they were easy to understand. And we used to pay about $15 for each test and magnets is at least as good and 1/2 price. We will need about 15 more this year.

Most important step
Hands down the most important step in a food plot program. It’s about half the price from other companies for the same information. Its easy to do all you do is go get dirt throu out plot and select what you wanna plant and they tell you how much lime and fertilizer to use.

Super easy great value
I plant food plots in Pennsylvania and the soil sample offered from Magnet is hands down the best. Super easy and you get results emailed within a couple days of them receiving your sample. Highly recommend if you want your plot to do the best it can.
