Pike County's Community Classroom

 MU Extension is the University of Missouri's classroom in Pike County.  We connect people to research-based education to enrich the quality of life and enhance the economic well-being of our communities.  MU Extension partners with the Pike County Commission and other local organizations to provide education, information and services that meet people's needs.  The elected and appointed members of the Pike County extension council provide guidance in identifying those needs to ensure that our education programs are relevant, reliable and responsive.  Whether it's resources for yourself or your family, farm, business or community, we invite you to explore our website, call or email to learn how we can help you.

Soil Testing

Soil tests save time and money.  Whether you grow acres of row crops or have a vegetable patch in the backyard, a soil test will provide you with an analysis of nutrients and a set of recommendations for improvements.  Basic testing is $15.50 per sample box plus postage.  Each sample box requires 2 cups of dry soil.
