Managing for Profit

Setting up for success on your farm

Getting a good handle on fertility early on is key to a successful growing year. Understanding nitrogen, potassium and lime levels greatly impacts other decisions that need to be made on the farm.

Every season is different, every farm is different, and what each individual farmer wants can be different. On this Managing for Profit, a content partnership with Encirca Services, Area Digital Services Lead Clay Lust tells Brownfield the Certified Service Agent (CSA) works with the farmer to set goals, go over data and make recommendations at the beginning of the year and works with them throughout the entire season.

For Lust, success is being able to stand with the farmer at the end of the season knowing together they have done a good job in diagnosing problems that arose, cut back on issues they’ve had in the past and moved the farm to the next level.
