Last week I was out collecting tissue samples from a bean field. This is an example of what nutrients the NUTRiSCAN is able to tell us about the plants in the field.

This morning I went to the Winfield United Showcase plot. The speakers were reminding farmers to pay attention to nutrients in their corn. Some parts of the plot were used to show signs of nitrogen and potassium deficiency.

Out by Galva, Illinois today taking tissue samples of soybeans. They will be scanned with the NUTRiSCAN to see the results as well as sent into the lab. This way the data of the plant nutrients can be compared.

Toured the Marquis Energy plant today. When standing outside it smells almost like bread because the yeast is being cooked off of the corn kernels🌽
