Jeff Morgan, a control room operator at the Koch Fertilizer plant in Brandon. Hennessey from his desk controls remotely operated instruments; he can open and close valves, change the rate of flow for liquids and process flows, and change pressures in the plant’s urea operations. He is regularly watching monitors that relay information about the complicated process of fertilizer production at the site just east of Brandon. Morgan conducts startups and shutdowns, and troubleshoots when issues arise. (Connor McDowell/The Brandon Sun) (Connor McDowell/The Brandon Sun).
