The Mobile Technology Unit is a 53-foot long, 1,000 square-foot interactive display featuring Monsanto's latest advances in seed breeding, biotechnology and new product development designed to help farmers be successful.
Aboard this one of a kind, hands-on exhibit, you'll discover how:
" Monsanto seed breeders are using "exotic" seed germplasm from around the world to develop new, high-performing crops for U.S. farmers.
" Advanced new biotech genes are being developed that not only provide improved weed and insect control, but also improved stress tolerance, healthier food oils and stronger yields.
" Monsanto is utilizing MRI diagnostic technology - the same used for human patients - to scan million of corn seeds each year to analyze oil content to help produce higher quality grain.
Plus much more! As a company focused solely on agriculture, Monsanto invests nearly $2 million a day in new product research and development. The Mobile Technology Unit is designed to provide farmers across the country with a firsthand look at the company's commitment to their success through technology innovation.
The event is located at the UNI DOME. To schedule a tour, please stop by the Monsanto booth early at the show. Space is limited to the first 21 people each half hour. Show hours are 9:00am to 4:00pm daily and admission is free.
