Hosting our first AgroVantage® Field Day in 2025 was a great opportunity to introduce the AgroVantage System to farmers throughout our region. Some attendees traveled more than eight hours, while others came from just a few miles away. The event allowed us to share what we have been doing on our farm and introduce the system to friends, neighbors, and clients from across the Midwest. Farmers were able to see the program firsthand and learn how it could benefit their own operations.

I believe Field Days are valuable because farmers want to see what actually works. When they can walk through the plots and observe the differences for themselves, they gain a much better understanding than they would by simply hearing about the products. These events also give farmers the chance to compare management practices and learn from one another. Many are looking for simple, cost-effective changes they can make, and a Field Day lets them see those opportunities in action.

What motivates me to continue hosting Field Days is the meaningful way to share the AgroVantage System with other farmers while helping us improve our own yield goals.
