Most of us know technology is constantly changing and many farmers are early adopters of the latest agriculture products on the market today. One company is hoping to keep farmers in the loop when it comes to the competitive demand of their crops.Helping farmers stay up to speed, is Channel Bio, and they're the host for Bio Future Field Day.Luke Windsor, Channel Bio Corporation, says, "We want to bring the education side back in so farmers understand where their money is being spent how it's being spent."Different tour stops were assembled to show farmers the latest technology being used to produce better crops.Fred Wilson, Indiana farmer, says, "I think the technology is changing so rapidly you need to stay on top of your game, and make sure you know what's coming down the pipeline how quickly, and how it's going to adapt to your needs and future needs."With more and more bio-diesel and ethanol plants being built, the demand for quality crops could mean big profits for farmers in the future.Windsor, says, "I think there is definitely opportunity for more value, a lot of it does fall back on the individual growers to be good marketers and stewards of what they have."Frank Miklozek, farmer, says, "Everything cost so much money, as so and you got to look for cheaper ways to do things, and you got to look to get more profit out of your land and your investment."Windsor, says, "We talked this morning about soy beans that have a lot of oil qualities that can give them an advantage in a competing market where we have outside products coming in. That right now we are trying to compete against and if we can give them a product that can give them a competitive advantage that's what our focus is."Friday's event marked the second annual Bio Future Field Day held in Henderson County.
