A start-up company called Sound Agriculture wants to create a more resilient food system. That begins with reducing nutrient waste. Instead of applying nitrogen and phosphorus during the growing season, Vice President of Sales Eamon Flood recommends SOURCE for corn and soybeans. “It’s a foliar application that stimulates the microbiome and provides nutrients to the crop, primarily nitrogen, phosphorus and other micronutrients, to strengthen plant health and add bushels.” Flood says SOURCE is not a biological, but it is similar. The interest in this segment of agricultural inputs is growing. “We’re seeing increasing scrutiny on the type of products farmers are using, especially in a place like Minnesota where there are lots of fresh water. For any farmer thinking about that, this could be a solution to start to solve that problem. In other cases, farmers are also looking for alternatives with higher input costs and supply chain issues.” Hear the story.
