Talking to the experts

Two weeks ago, I went to the midwest to visit colleges. I stayed with my friend's family in which almost every adult male was a farmer. Not one to forget my InvenTeam responsibilities, I grilled my friend's relatives for about 2 hours about how they tested their soil, what measurements were most important, how they decided what treatments they needed, and how those treatments affected crop yield. Their input will help us make sure that our device is usefull; after all, despite all of our research, none of us are farmers. We should never forget to talk to the real experts. Thanks to the Lowe family and relatives!
