In this Insider's Scoop we announce an exciting new project dedicated to helping the Ag industry protect its workforce by detecting Covid-19 infection 7 days before symptoms occur. We would like to thank Jesus Tovar, Yuma County, and Dr. Shane Burgess and his team at the University of Arizona for their part in making this project a reality. 

During the coronavirus pandemic, efforts continue to bring solutions to the pressing problems identified by the desert agriculture industry. We are appreciative to The University of Arizona for allowing us to carry on critical research activities, while following recommended guidelines to keep team members safe and healthy. Check out what we've been doing!

We held a Fusarium Wilt of Lettuce Field Day event where we invited experts on the subject to talk about their research and recommendations.
