I've got the opportunity to learn more about the soil, which is the basic building block of agriculture, during my internship at Corteva Agriscience's York, NE facility. The probe, a crucial instrument in our quest for sustainable farming, is where it all starts to hold the keys to a healthier, more abundant harvest. It's a reminder that even the smallest steps can lead to significant advancements.
