We are conveniently located in Columbus, WI, within close reach of many mid-west soil testing operations, and work with distributors supporting the agriculture industry to service forage testing and soil testing operations nation-wide.
CCI specializes in the blending and packaging of hazardous and reactive chemicals, including those used to prepare soil and feed analysis reagents. Our service provides the convenience of your required soil testing or forage testing blend, ready to use, reducing the level of associated risk or accident in preparing the mixture yourself.
Soil Testing Chemicals and Reagents
Soil analysis needs can vary region to region, and resulting fertilization plans can also vary depending on the nutrient and acidity requirements of the planned type of crop. To support the diverse soil testing needs of different agricultural regions, CCI offers four main soil testing reagents to help determine soil acidity and amount of plant nutrients in the soil:
- Adams-Evans Lime Buffer
- Bray P-1 (Concentrate)
- Mehlich No. 3 (Concentrate)
- Sikora Buffer (Concentrate)
Test results from methods using these soil testing formulas help determine the amount and type of fertilizers needed, such as lime or phosphorous, for optimal crop yield.

ADF and NDF Testing Supplies for Forage and Feed
Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) and Neutral Detergent fiber (NDF) analysis methods help identify the quality of nutrition animals are able to absorb from their feed during digestion compared to the amount of fibrous material present.
CCI manufactures ADF testing reagent in both ready-to-use and concentrated versions, as well as ready-to-use NDF reagent, to support analysis of feed and forage for healthy livestock.
