Producers are being encouraged to take part in the provinces clubroot testing program.

A farmer can pick up a soil testing bag, collect soil from their field and submit it for testing at no cost.

Soil samples should be collected in late summer or around swathing time.

All producer information will be kept confidential, and the legal land location will be shared with the rural municipality when there is a positive test result.

The results will be available in early winter.
