Next is Now

Imagine taking a cross-country trip in your favourite car but without the fuel gauge. How far could you drive without feeling anxious about how much fuel could be left in the tank? That is what it is like for producers who grow without tissue testing.  Join hosts Brian Brunson and Dan Aberhart as they discuss the value of tissue testing, how it acts as your crop’s fuel gauge and how it can help producers go from guessing to understanding their fertility plans. Giving you visibility on the nutrients in your crops, tissue testing can help you identify deficiencies, understand the relationships between nutrients and better understand the success of your current fertility program.  But why is tissue testing only used by a small percentage of farmers? How does tissue testing help us manage our crops and maximize our yields? What do tissue test reports tell us? Hear from experts Greg Patterson, Fritz Britz and Deep Patel as they discuss how these tests could help you succeed now and in the future.  Coffee row guests Jarrett Chambers, Trevor Millsap and Mike Palmier join us to discuss the value they see in tissue testing, advancements in the sector and all the possibilities that can arise when tissue testing is used in the field!  Learn more about exciting developments in the field and how you can improve your crop nutrition and fertility plan with tissue tests in this exciting episode of Next is Now!  — Follow Us —     TWITTER: www.twitter.com/GFL_Ag     FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/GFLAgCA     LINKEDIN: www.linkedin.com/company/gfl-ag/         — More From GFL Ag —      Visit our website: www.gflagri.com/      #Agriculture #Sustainability #Fertilizer #TissueTesting #CropNutrition
