With harvest quickly approaching, planning for next year may be top-of-mind for many. From seed genetics to fertilizer input, there is no shortage of decisions and bets to be made. But what if you could take away the some of the uncertainty that comes with planting a crop and give it the best foot forward from the moment it is planted?

With the recent trends in fluctuating commodity pricing, growers know they need to protect their valuable nitrogen inputs — from a financial, plant growth and sustainability standpoint.

For more than a decade, Justin Speth has worked in agriculture retail. He’s been hands-on with products since he started his career. During much of that time, he has faced challenges with the nitrogen stabilizer products he was using on anhydrous ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN).

Michael Oakes didn’t take a traditional road to become the Director of Operations and Activation for Koch Agronomic Services (Koch), but it was an interesting one.
