Dr. Kevin Barnett Discusses Pyran with Brownfield’s Larry Lee

Helping Farmers Generate Revenue and Diversify Sales

On March 2, 2021, Pyran's Dr. Kevin Barnett was interviewed by Jerry Lee for Brownfield Ag News.

Brownfield Ag News is the largest and one of the oldest agricultural news radio networks in the country.  More than 500 affiliate radio stations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin carry Brownfield’s agricultural news, markets and commentary.

Dr. Barnett told Brownfield most people wouldn’t believe the number of products that use petroleum, like paint, vinyl flooring, car components and more, but his team is now able to make these same chemicals from agricultural products. “People don’t realize, you know, you work with the corn cob or the wood chips all of the time, but there’s a lot of really interesting chemistry inside those, and you can turn them into a lot of really neat stuff.”

The audio from the entire interview is now online.
