By Farms.com Media Team

Farms.com caught up with Jamie Meier at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky for an update on Landoll Corporation. Meier is the Ag Division sales manager for the company, based in Marysville, Kansas.

Farms.com: Why is Landoll here at the Show?

Meier: “The National Farm Machinery Show gives us a great opportunity to connect with our customers. It allows us to get to learn the issues important to farmers so that we can bring products to them. It’s an important part of product development for us.”

Farms.com: How is business?

Meier: “Business is OK for us. At Landoll we are diversified, so that is important. With trailers and on the material-handling side, business is good. On the ag side, it’s a challenging environment. But it’s one we do pretty well in.”

Farms.com: When you’re not at farm shows, how are you connecting with your customers?

Meier: “Well, we try to stay connected in a number of different ways. The thing we are really trying to stay focused on is being out on the farm. Our territory managers are on top of that. We do attend trade shows. And we use digital media. It all helps us stay in touch with the farmer.”

On Wilbourne Farm in Virginia, a carbon-removal experiment is underway. First a tractor sprays nearly 20 tonnes of gray crushed basalt over one field. Then the farmer makes several more passes spreading other material in different combinations: bone-white limestone dust, rich black biochar and chicken litter compost that reeks of ammonia. Each of these materials can boost both crop yields and the amount of carbon stored in soil. And Wilbourne Farm will help reveal whether these different ways of removing carbon from the atmosphere can be even more more effective in combination.
