Agronomist Brad Hobrock, founder of Vision X Ag, thinks outside the box to help strip-till legends like Mt. Pulaski, Ill., farmer Jeff Martin improve their operations everyday. In his NSTC debut, Hobrock shares his "good sense, true systems approach” to plant and soil nutrition by putting nutrient roles, application timing and biology in the spotlight. He discusses the main drivers of plant growth and how to have more control over the critical growth periods in plant development.
You’ll Learn: Practical agronomic insights to improve the overall soil and plant health in your strip-till system.
