CEO Jeff Sangalli who share more insights about the integration of their two companies, new opportunities for joint technology advancement between the companies and how the companies will continue to be “farmer first” in their market approach going forward.
From a very young age, Nick showed great drive and ambition. He worked on the AgroLiquid crop nutrient research farm, now known as the North Central Research Station, beginning when he was six years old. As his family was developing their fertilizer business, Nick was learning to engineer and strategize his workload. Nick's Grandfather, Douglas Cook, paid by the job, not by the hour, and he only paid if all the jobs were complete. Nick learned quickly how to formulate a strategy to complete all tasks assigned to him. His entrepreneurial spirit was also nurtured, and he began selling pumpkins and sweet corn to neighbors when he was seven, and continued this thriving business for more than ten years.Growing up on the farm, it was a natural progression for Nick to enter Michigan State University to study Crop and Soil Science. He continued to work for AgroLiquid during college, and intentionally gained experience in all areas of the company – from administration to manufacturing. Nick also obtained his CDL and made deliveries – something he maintains and continues doing to this day.This episode features an in-depth conversation with Nick Bancroft, CEO of Agro Liquid. Nick shares his valuable insights on intentional leadership, planning, and creating a thriving company culture. With over 20 years of experience in his family-owned business, Nick discusses the importance of being a planner, the power of a good calendar, and prioritizing essential tasks for business success.

Matt Swanson used to apply fertility at time of planting in furrow. But then he stopped, for various reasons not the least of which was ineffectiveness. Now he's dabbling back into in-furrow with a 40 acre experiment in conjunction with AgroLiquid. The results won't be in until the combines roll but already the corn is withstanding weather stress much better than Matt's non-treated acres. That, along with agronomic advances and the very real prospect of regulations on fertilizer application is why you should consider in-furrow fertility to spoon-feed your crops for profitable results.

Kelly Garrett and Mike Evans have identified that one of the biggest yield limiters for soybeans is branch strength. They have spent a lot of time getting enough fertility into the plant in order to grow more pods, but if the branches can't hold the pods, that's a problem. Kelly and Mike talk about the calcium program they are implementing to increase branch strength in their Agroliquid trial this season.
Biologicals are the newest iteration in Ag inputs but they've actually been around for several decades and they still lack consistent results. Consolidation among Ag's biggest players has left just a handful of huge companies — will they all still be here in a decade? If so, who will they acquire? Meanwhile, farms are consolidating too (as they have been for almost a century), how does that change the Ag inputs biz? And what does the future look like in way of crop inputs and the manner in which they are developed, sold, and distributed? This and more is discussed in this episode of The Business of Agriculture with guests Galynn Beer and Brian Waugh of Agroliquid. Sponsored by Pattern Ag pattern.ag
An estimated 5% or less of all farmers actually engage in regular tissue sampling of their crops. So, if you are not doing it, you are not alone. But that may not make it right. Chad believes in tissue sampling, sort of, and in certain situations, but he certainly does not live or die by the almighty tissue sample when it comes to his farming operation. Chad debates the value of tissue sampling with Agroliquid agronomists Stephanie and Molly and they discuss the best approach to using the information if you decide to tissue sample.
In today's episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by the Pluribus Lite from Dawn Equipment, John Leif, a regional agronomist at AgroLiquid, explains the basics of soil testing, some common mistakes farmers make when soil testing, when to apply nutrients, how to determine if you should band vs. broadcast and much more.
Matt Miles will make11 different foliar passes on his cotton field this season. Seems about right for a plant that Matt says is trying to die from the minute it emerges. 6 of those passes will be part of a trial he is doing with Agroliquid to foliar feed potassium into the plant. He is joined by Molly from Agroliquid and his agronomist, Robbo, to talk about the foliar feeding regimen he plans to implement on this year's crop.
Cotton is a plant that is born to die. It emerges and then it spends the rest of its life trying to die. Well, maybe not exactly, but, let's face it Cotton is finicky and requires a lot of attention. We are in Matt Miles' cotton field with Molly Alexander and Stephanie Zelinko from Agroliquid talking about in-furrow trials and needs of cotton.

Ryan Martin is forecasting a soggy week, but it won't stick around all week.
Kevin Matthews had been looking at soil sample results for decades before he finally realized the importance of calcium to magnesium ratios in his soils. This may seem like advanced agronomy to some but the reality is this: You can't get to the next level of production without a firm foundation of soil basics. This is why Agroliquid created the Back2Basics educational series — so farmers can discover their next level ability by addressing the basics first. Or, as Kevin says, “fixing limiting factors in the soil begins with the basics.”
Vic Verchereau welcomes Burt Henry to this episode of Leadership Lowdown. Being involved and determination are attributes Burt Henry brings to the table. He got his start in agriculture growing up on a fruit and vegetable farm located in Oceana County. His love of agriculture started in the orchards and blossomed while taking agriculture courses at Shelby High School. He never dreamed that his life's work would be spent in a classroom for 27 years, but in 1986 he started as an Agriscience Instructor/FFA Advisor at Alma High School. In 2013, he joined the team at AgroLiquid where he now serves as the Industry Relations Manager and the AgroExpo. Burt is quick to give credit to others, saying, “My career success is largely due to the mentors I had in my life. Listen into this edition of the Leadership lowdown and hear all about a life of service and leadership…Do it today, because Burt reminds us to “Live every day to your fullest because tomorrow is not guaranteed.” » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/
In the old days if you wanted a bumper crop of corn, you sprayed copious amounts of Atrazine and put down a lot of nitrogen. While some farmers may think that's still the game plan, Kevin Matthews attains record yielding corn with a different approach — he maximizes micronutrients with a big assist from the folks at Agroliquid. That company has multiple product corn fertility trials in place on Kevin's North Carolina farm where he has 135 acres devoted to experimentation. Galynn Beer and Stephanie Zelinko from Agroliquid join Kevin to explain nutrient management and how to get huge bushels with efficient nutrient utilization. Presented by Advanced Drainage Systems
