Nitrogen utilization is a very important issue today. Ask Cindy, who’s editing our DomesticFuel site where we have regular input from a guy who has a problem with the fact that so much nitrogen fertilizer is put on crops that are turned into fuel today (corn most importantly). Here’s Pioneer’s Paul Gaspar, Agronomy Research Scientist, giving us an update on what Pioneer is doing to improve nitrogen efficiency in corn.
Communicating Agronomy Research Information
Number two on the program today is Steve Paszkiewicz, Agronomy Research Scientist.
M-Series Is Driving Yield Enhancements
We’re back in the presentation room here at Pioneer. Today is research day. Lots of information about the research work that’s going on.
Dealing With International Biotech Regs
Our final presentation of today here at the Pioneer event is being given by Thomas West, VP, Biotech Affairs & Business Support. It’s Thomas’ job to work on biotech regulatory acceptance around the world. I’m assuming this means he’s got some serious frequent flyer miles.
Hearing About Pioneer Research From Hawaii
After a short break this afternoon we got our virtual tour of the Pioneer Hawaii Research Station. Our presenters are Steven Lupkes, Coordinator and Cindy Goldstein, Outreach Manager. They are “online” with us on a two-way video/audio hookup. They’re talking about how and why they do research in Hawaii and the benefits and challenges it represents.
Sit Down And Chill Out
Right behind the Pioneer Carver Center is a very pretty little pond which is totally frozen at the moment. I could see the geese through the window of the presentation room we’re in and had to take a quick shot of them before it gets too late.
How Pioneer Is Building A Better Bt
Presentation number two here at Pioneer is a tag team with Kyle Whitaker, Marketing Manager, who just got finished (pictured here) and Murt McLeod, Agronomy Research Scientist.
Media Using Computers
Since this is a “media” event then there’s got to be some media. Well here we are (I’m behind the camera). It’s a pretty good group of web/broadcast/print media representatives. I think it’s interesting that you can hear 6 different computers clicking away!
New Technology From Pioneer
The first presentation here at the Pioneer event is with Bill Kuhn, Research Director. Bill is talking about new technologies and how Pioneer is bringing those solutions to market. Before we got started I interviewed Bill about these new technologies and what their goal is in bringing the media here today. I also asked him what he thought about blogging his research so producers can follow along with him as he creates the products they’ll be using in the future.
Preview Of The Pioneer Event With Jerry
Well we’re in the Pioneer Carver Center now and lunch is almost over. I interviewed Pioneer, Sales & Marketing/Public Relations Manager, Jerry Harrington before things got going. He gives us an overview of the Science of Solutions media event.
