When Noel Rudie, Harvest Innovations director of research, talks about company history and recent successes, he immediately acknowledges the level of service and depth of assistance provided by ISU Extension and Outreach through the Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS).
“Using resources from CIRAS has allowed Harvest Innovations to focus on growth,” Rudie said. CIRAS has connected the company to research and food safety and employee training, as well as providing business continuity planning and carbon footprint analysis.
