Subject: Lab Fee change.



Little River, TX
You may have noticed Midwest Upped their fee for measured CEC (EPA something) from $17.10 as of March first. They were kind enough to warn me and to run my 15 Measured CEC samples before the new date and at the old price. New price is $40, and more in line with the cost of setting up and cleaning up after running the tests.
I understand they have to displace all the cations with a known cation, then washing the sample in calcium and measure the amount of calcium that is taken up by the sample. Sort of like measuring frog hairs.

The bean counters at Midwest insisted in the past I have over paid and with no input from me have posted a nice little balance. Good enough to make my annual June soil and tissue analysis a bargain, this year.
