Accurately Measure Pea Maturity in the Field

Profits and savings
Processors worldwide are using FTC's Tenderometer to determine harvesting dates, "Buy on Grade", and position harvesters for the most effective crop yield. With profits at stake a point or two of the standard can be very costly. Accurate readings can save thousands of dollars a day for a medium to large operation, and quickly pay back the initial investment. FTC offers a yearly calibration service to maintain accuracy.
