I know it is probably obvious to all of you who are actually managing your farm that today's agricultural operations are very sophisticated businesses. While we in the inner agri- circles understand that, it’s probably not patently obvious to the population at large. That said, growers who plant with a systematic, whole-farm approach report having a better grasp on business management and are happier overall with their field performance. The Syngenta company,through it’s AgriEdge Excelsior program, provides a broad portfolio of products combined with agronomic advice. This integrated approach spans across seeds, seed treatments, crop protection and post-harvest products. From the most advanced traits and genetics to the latest chemicals, growers will have access to products that meet any field’s needs. Every year, a grower should be able to use the data in order to understand your land a little better. Syngenta AgriEdge Excelsior Manager Reagan DeSpain: “AgriEdge Excelsior is not designed just to spit out recommendations. It helps farmers get a better understanding of why their expenditures are higher on one field and lower on another. It helps over all, to better manage their farm.”
