How we increased yield AND applied less Nitrogen per acre

Ever heard of a CCI meter? It measures the Chlorophyll Concentration Index in plants. I hadn’t heard of it either. But I got to use one live in our corn fields this summer and I was impressed. Now WHY is this such a big deal? This meter allowed us to measure the chlorophyll concentration in corn plants throughout the growing season, at that moment in time. We know that chlorophyll is an indicator of nitrogen. When we take the chlorophyll concentration along with the plant biomass, we are able to calculate how much nitrogen the plant has used at that point in the growing season. Nitrogen testing has been around for a long time. But, without the CCI meter, corn leaves would have to be sent into a lab, dried down and crumbled, and then tested. This process took about a week to get data back. The real time readings on the CCI meter lets us measure what we want to know THAT day, THAT hour, THAT minute.
