TerraManus Technologies, LLC presents TerraStar technology at Ag Innovation Showcase, May 18-19

September 1, 2009

Stephen Carr, CEO and Cofounder of TerraManus Technologies, LLC gave a well received media presentation at the fist annual Ag Innovation Showcase. He outlined TerraStar technologies and the solid science based research that substantiates the assertions made about our unique soil conditioning systems. The showcase was a venture of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, the Nidus Center for Scientific Enterprise and the Larta Institute. The intention of the conference was to shine a spotlight on top agribusinesses, highlighting their technologies and providing opportunities and collaborative ventures with other related companies and investors.

In his presentation, Mr. Carr took full advantage of the opportunity to expound on the many agricultural and ecological advantages of the ground tilling system. He touched on soil erosion, water flow management and related environmental problems, and also the diverse market potential in agriculture, biofuel, real estate, land reclamation, mining, environmental agencies, construction, and third world countries.

After the presentation many people approached Stephen and his staff with great interest and a desire to learn more about the technologies. Get a little insight on the audience reaction here.

This event featured fifteen emerging companies, all of which were carefully selected by the event’s distinguished Evaluation Committee. It was a great honor to be selected to both attend the conference and present TerraManus Technologies, LLC to the industry and potential investors
