The three months of free testing for farmers who were flooded by the Kona Low storms have ended. We were grateful to help these community members get back on their feet and continue to offer affordably priced testing to farmers, nurseries, gardeners, and others who need quality soil nutrient or plant testing, as well as insect identification.
