I'm proud to say I've taken our family farming business to new levels of success. I took the traditional practices I learned from my father and combined them with new and progressive techniques. All of my decisions are based on achieving success today and for many generations to come. I hope one day when my children are running the business that they, too, will constantly question and try new things to ensure the farm is continuously advancing to new heights. After 40 years of growing a variety of crops, I have seen and tried just about everything. From my fertilizer inputs to my succession plan, my experience has taught me to make smart decisions that increase yield and deliver a profitable bottom line. I've had a lot of success with tried and true practices, but that doesn't stop me from continuing to keep up with the latest technologies for the farm. It's what I've loved most about this life and this work: finding real solutions to complex problems. One of the most progressive decisions I've made is choosing a nitrogen fertilizer with controlled-release technology. ESN® SMART NITROGEN®'s polymer coating protects my nitrogen from loss mechanisms; releasing it in response to plant demand. Using ESN provides season-long feeding to my crops, so I can rest easy knowing that when nitrogen is needed, ESN will be there. I understand that the choices I make today will have an impact far into the future. Increase Net Return. Minimize Loss. Maximize Crop Yield. To meet more smart growers visit ESNSmartGrower.com
