Western labs-parma Idaho. If you've got alkaline ph theyre the go to lab and youre likely to have high ph

International Ag Labs in Minnesota does the Morgan soil test. That will give you your actual-available nutrient levels in your soil.

what part of kansas are you from? I live in northwest kansas and for a local test i took mine to Sure Crop http://www.surecropfertilizers.com/ And Cojoe is right one if you are from northeast kansas your ph will be high...Mine was over 8 when i tested last year and with added amendments it was still at 7.9 at the end of the season.

I have Tried U-Mass and Western Labs. Western Labs deals a lot with Giant Pumpkin growers and have specific tests and recommendations just for Atlantic Giants. U-mass is a lot cheaper but wont give you as good of support as far as what to do with your results.
