Exhibiting microBIOMETER®

microBIOMETER® was proud to have a booth at the Commodity Classic Conference and Trade Show in New Orleans. The show was an extravaganza of BIG Ag; huge tractors and heavy equipment along with country singers at the Bayer Booth!

We were excited to connect with lots of old friends as well as meet many new people that share our passion for soil biology. Our booth was busy all three days demonstrating and talking about microBIOMETER®.

Highlights included seeing Ben Lehman; former Cornell Student who used microBIOMETER® on his thesis and who is now working with in10T on technology solutions for farmers. Also fun to see long time microBIOMETER® friend, Oscar Ruiz, with Waypoint Analytical.

One of the most interesting groups we met at the conference were science teachers from around the country. The teachers are all members of *Nourish the Future and were in attendance looking for ideas to create a curriculum and bring agriculture (back) into the classroom! Since we LOVE supporting academia, we truly enjoyed our conversations with this group.

Congratulations to Jill Zurcher for winning the 10-Test Starter Kit at our conference giveaway!

*Nourish the Future is sponsored by the National Corn Growers Association and the United Soybean Board with educational content and programming developed by educationprojects.org.
