This episode of the Agronomy Answers podcast features Glenn Herz, the head of research at Hefty Seed Company, sharing his path from growing up on a diversified farm in western North Dakota to leading research across multiple states.

He also talks about the biggest challenges in research, including getting plots planted on time, handling variability, and separating what looks good in a lab from what actually works for farmers in the real world.
