Recorded live at the AcresTV stage during Commodity Classic, this panel brings together leading growers Chad Henderson and Temple Rhodes, alongside moderator Galynn Beer of Tidal Grow AgriScience, for a candid conversation on navigating today’s challenging agricultural economy.

With input costs remaining high and margins under pressure, the discussion centers on how growers can rethink their fertility programs to drive efficiency without sacrificing performance. A major focus is nitrogen and how better timing, placement, and product selection can significantly improve nitrogen use efficiency.

The panel highlights alignN®, Tidal Grow AgriScience’s foliar encapsulated urea, and what sets it apart from traditional nitrogen programs. Unlike conventional approaches, alignN® enables growers to apply nitrogen later in the season, closer to peak crop demand, offering greater flexibility and reducing early-season risk.

Chad and Temple share real-world perspectives from the field, including how they’re adapting their programs in response to economic pressures and operational constraints. The conversation also dives into results from Tidal Grow’s extensive 2025 field-scale trials, which demonstrate measurable gains in yield and return on investment.

Whether you’re looking to optimize your nitrogen strategy, reduce upfront input costs, or build a more resilient fertility program, this discussion offers practical insights you can apply this season.
