The History of the Haney Test

The Haney Soil Health Test emerged from Dr. Rick Haney's 20 years of dedicated research to better understand the living soil. As a USDA-ARS research soil scientist in Temple, Texas, Dr. Rick Haney created this test to address the limitations of traditional methods, aiming to mimic nature's approach to nutrient availability in the lab. His goal was to provide a holistic understanding of soil's living system, empowering land managers to make more informed decisions.
