Question:"Why does the USGA Web site list only a few of the physical soil testing laboratories in the country? Isn't this biased against the labs that are not on the list?"
Source of Question:Arizona
Answer/Response:"The laboratories on the USGA Web site have achieved full accreditation with the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation. Accredited labs undergo rigorous testing and inspections to ensure they provide the best information possible. They also work with the USGA to constantly try to improve laboratory testing procedures, which in turn benefits the entire industry. For these reasons, the USGA strongly recommends only accreditied labs be used."
