Water Testing for Producers

For Missouri growers, water sample kits can be obtained from most local public health departments in Missouri, as well as in some other locations throughout Missouri. Samples can be returned to most local public health departments in Missouri (on ice, within 24 hours of taking the sample).  More information on collecting water samples and how to submit them in Missouri is available in the following documents:
