Leaftech Ag Showcases New Handheld Tissue Analysis at Linco-Precision Event
Leaftech Ag's Founder and CEO John Mascoe goes over the details of the company's new handheld tissue sensor, which allows farmers and agronomists to scan leaves in the field for nutrient content and measure for 12 micro and macro nutrients in just a few minutes. This allows farmers to quickly apply targeted nutrients to help crops reach their yield potential. Mascoe participated in an event put on by Skip Klinefelter and his team at Linco-Precision for their farm customers and ag retailers.
