Q& A
Why is your message applicable to growers? We have a deep understanding of the economic value of the crops grown in this area as they are used in the export destinations served. The more growers can understand this value the better they are in a position to increase their profitability.
If there's one thing you'd like to say to growers that you won't in your presentation, what would it be? Be actively involved in your regional commodity marketing groups like the ND Soybean Council and ND Corn Growers. These groups, and others like them, make a tremendous impact on the market value for your crops as well as lobbying for changes that directly benefit your operation.
Why participate in the Cultivate conference? It's a unique event that brings the best and brightest together from the industry. Learn about coming technology trends and make your voice heard to help shape the companies and technology working to serve the industry.

What most excites you about the ag space right now? We've been talking about data for years, and I believe now is finally the time where the connectivity will exist to bring that data together in a meaningful way to make important changes to the industry.
How can tech and farmers better work together? Increased communication. Openly sharing problems and listening to them to work collaboratively to create high-impact solutions.
