Exciting Discoveries of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Agricultural Research with Metra Grain Cleaners!

13 March 2024

We are thrilled to share some groundbreaking work coming out of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where the brilliant mind of Dr. Miloš Zarić https://agronomy.unl.edu/zaric has been making strides in agricultural research. Miloš, now an Assistant Professor, has been diving deep into the world of Pesticide Application Technologies https://pat.unl.edu, focusing on the safe use of pesticides and optimizing sprayer performance to maximize effectiveness of applied products in various crops. 

Dr. Zarić’s innovative approach aims at offering practical solutions to improve crop safety, yield, and sustainability. His team’s dedication to advancing sustainable farming practices includes field days to showcase their findings, particularly emphasizing the Metra Aerodynamic Grain Cleaner ADS 200 b/h’s role in their research, especially for the study of industrial hemp.

The Metra Grain Cleaner has proven to be an essential tool in Dr. Zarić’s research, noted for its user-friendliness, mobility, and significant impact on farming efficiency. Its ability to adjust airflow for optimal cleaning and its mobility enhance operational efficiency, offering a versatile solution for various agricultural needs.

This research highlights the Metra Grain Cleaner’s effectiveness in removing impurities and ensuring the highest seed quality for the next planting season, leading to improved crop yields and uniform germination. 

The Metra Grain cleaner boosts research by enhancing the quality of yield data from small plot samples, including crops like industrial hemp and popcorn. By efficiently removing impurities, it increases yield accuracy and research quality, aiding in the advancement of agricultural practices both quantitatively and qualitatively. Its use opens up opportunities for premium local processing and improves the economic impact of agricultural research. As farmers face limited herbicide options and high crop quality standards, having a cleaning strategy becomes vital. Using versatile tools like the grain cleaner and adopting innovative practices ensure grain cleanliness and marketability, reducing the risk of load rejections at elevators.

As we continue to share updates from Dr. Zarić and his team, Metra Grain Cleaners remains committed to supporting innovative research that drives the future of farming. Join us in celebrating the remarkable contributions of our researchers to the agriculture industry.
