    Elmar,

    I am learning to look forward to your posts. I would like to hear your thoughts on the steps below.

    I am working on the script for our final update of a commercial corn test in 2021. In part, here’s the simple description of what we are trying to accomplish:

    • Step 1: Soil can’t be regenerated without a healthy microbe population. For soil to be healthy, microbes must be present and well-fed. The well-fed part of the equation is the hard part. AgRehab repopulates and feeds microbes.

    • Step 2: Once microbes are reestablished in the soil, the seeds will germinate and emerge above the ground as what we hope will become a productive plant.

    • Step 3: Above ground, a plant will gather fuel from the sun by photosynthesis and the roots will develop complicated relationships with bacteria, fungi, nematodes, etc., in the root zone, or rhizosphere.

    • Step 4: A healthy bacterium-to-fungi ratio will form, resulting in a healthy, productive, bug and disease-resistant plant.

    • Step 5: Keeping the main thing the main thing – Steps 2, 3, and 4 won’t happen without Step 1.
