10 minute video posted to the Rich Earth Institute YouTube channel to document the development and use of the roller pump with farmer partner John Janiszyn. It includes footage field trials where Janiszyn drives a tractor with a 2-row cultivator and urine pump attachment to cultivate and fertilize sweet corn in Westminster, VT. Concentrated urine is pumped from the tank on the tractor forks to the back of the tractor using a ground-driven peristaltic pump, and Janiszyn controls the urine flow using a ball valve in the tractor cab.
