To give you a sneak peek at other features in our "Yields of Tomorrow" plot this year besides plants, is machinery. The GEN V planter was set in place last week along with a research plot combine to help showcase some of the technology our researchers are utilizing. It really is some exciting stuff and we'll be able to show growers what work is being done behind-the-scenes to improve agronomic practices on their farm to help reach even higher yields.
In addition, the Bt soybeans were infested with velvet bean caterpillar last week by Monmouth Learning Center technician Dudley Ricketts and Technical Development Representative Associate Brian Hogendorp and Stephanie Smith infested the biotech plots with corn earworm. In the photos below, you can see how much they enjoy their job - I think the smile on their faces says it all.
