Making a Difference

Last week I was on the road in a new place each day. I spent Monday in Tunica, MS with a sales manager looking at soybean fields sprayed with MarvelTM. The fields look healthy and productive which is what everyone wants to see this time of year.




Tuesday I was in Memphis at the Agricultural Research Center to participate in FMC plot tours. There was also a lunch conference that included many growers and retailers from the surrounding area. You can look at the untreated corn below and compare it to the treated corn to clearly see the difference. I don’t think it is any surprise to validate that the chemicals work wonders for high yields and healthy crops.




For the rest of the week the southern region team was in Kansas City, Missouri for a meeting and Driver Dynamics class. The driving class taught me about responsibility, defense, and safety. It was fun for the entire team; there were drills when we would speed the trucks up to 45 mph and slam on the ABS brakes between cones. Did you know that when your passenger puts their feet up on the dashboard they are in danger of an airbag taking their ankles past their earlobes? Not trying to frighten anyone…but let’s be safe on the road!
