With his summer being my fourth internship, I chose to work for Co-Alliance as a Specialized Agronomy Intern. I did many different jobs this summer from spreading fertilizer and learning how to spray beans to hauling ammonia tanks to farmers. The main projects I did had to deal with 2 test trials with a few of our big farmers. The first test trials were using a Co-Alliance exclusive product known as First Stepp. First Stepp is an 80\/20 talc graphite mix that\u2019s has a biological package and micronutrient package added in with it. With the product on corn and beans we saw more root mass with a lot more fine hairs early on. On beans we also saw them come out of the ground more evenly and between 12-24 hours before the beans which did not have First Stepp applied on them. My second test trial had to do with Instinct which is a nitrogen stabilizer that we used with liquid fertilizer. Especially on the sand ground, there was a lot less firing seen on mid to lower plant leaves. Overall, I learned a lot this summer and had an amazing experience with Co-Alliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
