New Tech Delivers – Gary Wickham

Farms of all sizes and types, from conventional to organic, need  continually improving technologies if they are to meet their obligations to Mother Earth and their own bottom line. Gary Wickhan is the founder and CEO of Ireland based MagrowTec. Farming utilizes applications of materials through spraying.  Whether those materials are organic or traditional the goal is to use as little as possible and avoid drift to non targeted areas. Magrotec uses permanent rare earth magnets to expose  fluid to static non-uniform magnetic fields under appropriate flow conditions. This affects the physical properties of the fluid that determine  spray droplet formation, droplet dynamics, and droplet adhesion.Large farms are early adapters but as the technology advances it will be better for smaller operations, for the climate and for eaters. www.magrowtec.com
