Heard about the Haney test and want to learn more about how it might be used in Wisconsin? Listen in while we chat with leading UW researchers and outreach specialists Chris Bandura, John Jones, and Andrew Stammer on this topic. We dive in deep discussing how the Haney test can be used practically on-farm, how it calculates fertility recommendations differently than other soil tests, and what that means for Wisconsin cropping systems.

The Top 10 Benefits of Regenerative Soil Microscopy
1. You can see & evaluate Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on roots, in inoculants, and the lifecycle & inoculation rate.
2. You can evaluate the members and cycling potential of the Soil Food Web
3. You can evaluate Root Hairs and verify and evaluate Rhizophagy
4. A Lack of Biology indicates toxins, imbalances, deficiencies, or a build of specific minerals 
5. Lack of Biology = Lack of Biological Benefits
6. Microscopy is Quality Control for Biological Inputs
7. Most Microplastics are EASY to ID with Epifluorescence lighting
8. We can see Algae very easily as it and chlorophyll turn blood red in epifluorescence lighting
9. DNA testing is expensive and takes serious dedication and time while Microscopy is easy, can be done daily, and is an extremely low cost per test - in most cases it's the cost of the machine and a few disposable supplies.
10. Microscopy is where it all comes together for our understanding and applying the results from all other tests. Like with bloodwork, we can see the future and avoid problems before they even become visible at a macro level.
