HVX testing in Canada

Post by Cheryl »

I just heard that University of Guelph Lab Services is now set up for HVX testing at $15/test and will provide discount if several samples are submitted. Their website outlines everything......... http://www.uoguelph.ca/pdc/

Sounds like a very good deal! Hopefully you won't have much use for it :(

Cheryl, thanks for posting this! I kept meaning to call our Experimental Farm, though they are mostly into beef cattle but do some ornamental plants too. I was going to ask them if they knew where we could get hvx testing done.

But now I don't have to call them. Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think of U of G, my mom lives in Guelph so I should of thought of it!
