What drives Chris?
While endless opportunities and the challenge of continual improvement may deter some people from farming — it’s what motivates Chris as he watches his crops grow, knowing he and his family are playing a role in feeding the world.
Fertility Program
Chris’ fertility program begins with regular soil testing to review nutrient levels and identify any deficiencies. Based on the results, he applies balanced fertilizers specifically tailored to each crop’s needs —improving plant health while gradually building overall soil fertility.
While he’s satisfied with current levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, he’s on a continual journey to better understand micronutrient levels and requirements.
Why biologicals?
Chris’ journey of growth has led him to test biologicals.
He and his family feel they’ve pushed traditional fertilizers as far as they can go. Now, they’re looking to take the next step in enhancing soil fertility, crop health and yield potential.
