St. Johns, Mich. – As input costs remain high and markets uncertain, growers face a critical decision: continue to chase maximum yield or pivot to strategies that optimize return on investment.
“The relationship between yield and profit isn’t always linear,” explains Reid Abbott, AgroLiquid agronomist. “In many cases, growers can achieve better returns by reallocating their fertilizer dollars more strategically throughout the season.”
Abbott will be among the growers and experts sharing data-driven strategies to help growers maximize ROI during Crop Nutrition Week 2025, a free, online virtual learning event for growers. The event, now in its third year, will be held February 3-7. Registration is open now at cropnutritionweek.com.
