The new Soil and Plant Analysis Lab under-construction at the UW West Madison Agricultural Research Station is well on its way to completion. The new laboratory at 8452 Mineral Point Road (west of Junction Road and County M, near Menards) will be ready for occupancy by mid-February, 2004.

The new facility will be able to efficiently accommodate all current testing services and provide room for implementing new services. The Madison laboratory will now be able to focus on continued growth in specialty/customized analysis for private business, UW System researchers and other educational researchers while maintaining a continued noticeable presence in agricultural diagnostic services. Certifications necessary for clients to meet state and federal agency project requirements can now be obtained. Find out about all the service options in the Madison Lab newsletter, ‘The Spectrum’ currently published 4-6 times per year and available on request via http://uwlab.soils.wisc.edu/.
