Merla,
Call Gempler's for their catalogue. The Super can ogle all the rubber gloves, tyvac, respirators, measuring cups, boots & all. Then the refractometer will not seem so foreign. The product "coach" at Gempler's may be of help to give you the type of language that will cut through his poor hazy consciousness. They may even have a pamphlet to recommend.
The call is free and they're friendly folks.
They also have "Plant stress detection glasses" developed by NASA which may give you the information you want/need with a lot less work. 
Squeezing enough juice from roadside weeds to get readings will be difficult if not a lost cause. 
The glasses are $50 and he can see the changes too!


best of Luck

Hi all,

I am trying to get the Weed Supervisor to O.K. the purchase of a
refractometer on the Rapid Lightning cost/share grant.  He never heard
of one and wants me to find someone in our county who has before he will
O.K. it.  I have called Bob Wilson, the Extension Agent, but he hasn't
returned my call.  Called again.  Surely he or someone can help, but
failing that I will just have to try and convince the Weed Supervisor of
the value of being able to test plants for their vigor 30 minutes after
various applications.
