Innovative problem-solvers in the #heartland are thinking outside the box to reboot the #agriculture industry & meet increased food needs of a growing population. Aaron Rudberg of @seed2growth, Justin Bruch, Poornima Parameswaran of Trace Genomics & Alex Rau share more!

Hi5 scrubber spread futures seem to be stabilizing, spot Singapore price is $160/t, Fuj: $150/t. Scrubbers still pay for themselves in a couple of years.

I'm continually surprised by how rare mental arithmetic skill is among technical people. It's about as hard to learn as riding a bike (ie not hard) and it puts first principles thinking on warp drive. With daily practice you can quickly get faster results than using a calculator
