Subject: Herb Oehlke interview

 

Russ,

 

Herb and I talked for about 40 minutes about the glories of GreenSeeker.

(Man, is he happy!) He is thrilled with results this year and plans to use it on all 3,000 crop acres next year.

 

As you mentioned, yield across GS fields was far more consistent than is typical. As a result, he estimates that GS fields yielded about 10 bu/acre more than non GS fields. (At $10/bu, that really adds up.) Plus he saved about 3 gallons/acre of 28% N and qualified for a $39/a CSP nutrient management payment.

 

Herb will be sending you yield maps within a few days, which he asked that you pass along to me. He said it's OK to use his comments on the Web, and also to pass along his name to media types.

 

I will work up a short squib for the web site, as well as keep Herb in mind as I talk with media.

 

Thanks again for keeping PR in mind.

 

David
