On RFD-TV: Jackson Stansell

In these times of interrupted supply chains and rising nitrogen prices, precision techniques for the application of fertilizer to crops is increasingly important. Jackson Stansell is a Ph.D. student in agricultural engineering at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln where he recently completed his master’s program. His master’s research focused on using crop canopy image data to apply nitrogen fertilizer more efficiently. To scale up the technology he’s started a business, Sentinel Fertigation, and testing through the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network has confirmed the system works and is already saving farmers money.
