Patrick Becker, Grower, NW Wisconsin
Patrick Becker of Rooney Farms recently won a trial of ESN for his operation. Over the course of the growing season, he has seen time-savings, as he has not had to apply nitrogen multiple times. With different soil types across his corn, soy, peas and rye, he has seen it as a way to maximize his investments, especially with sandier soils. Overall, he has seen his overall nitrogen usage reduced, while his crops have had ample N.
