SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT

Joe Ailts

Ailts Agronomy

Joe Ailts is an independent agronomist and farmer based in Deere Park, Wis., who works directly for farmers to help boost their efficiency and bottom line. His research-backed approach has shown promising results, including significant yield responses in both corn and soybeans across several farms.

"I believe the best agronomic decisions come from understanding your specific fields, your goals and your constraints. That's why I emphasize on-farm research to test practices and products on your farm — and under your conditions — to find what truly works for you."
