Landus has also introduced the first-of-its-kind Innovation Cell, which will bring the best and brightest thought leaders in science, technology and small business in to collaborate with Iowa farmers at the Innovation Center. This, Carstens says, will be the path to pioneering of new ideas. Anyone interested in touring the Innovation Center in Ralston can contact Landus’ Solution Center at 515-800-GROW (4769).
