I’m starting to believe the idea that long term zero percent rates have made MBAs in charge of almost everything completely careless to the historical realities of business where you have a product and process before investing tons into a system.

It seems to me that with “endless free money” we miss things like “this one input stream will be a nightmare, let’s not do it”.

Absolutely agree. Also, how is this firm based in Silicon Valley / San Fran where the customers are primarily in the midwest? If they were serious about this problem, shouldn't they be where their customers or resources are? Building something in isolation and then "shipping" it to where it will be used seems very inefficient and they're clearly missing out on valuable on-the-ground information and experience. This seems more like a university research project than a serious concern?

Wouldn’t the reverse question then be, why hasn’t someone in the Midwest done this already?

There are other companies working on similar things in the Midwest. It is a complex problem that farmers are very interested in because they see potential dollars.

They may have already used that material for something else?

Like animal feed. Or tilling it into the soil to increase organic matter.
