WEBINAR: What Really Pays? Smarter Sulfur & Potassium Strategies for Corn & Soybeans

Margins are tight, nutrient prices are volatile, and growers expect more return from every ton applied. In this webinar, experienced farmers—who also serve as ICL technical sales managers—share how innovative product choices can strengthen both profitability and agronomic performance in corn and soybean systems. 🌱 What You’ll Explore: How Polysulphate® and ICL PKpluS® perform as alternative sulfur and potassium sources Where multi-nutrient fertilizers fit alongside commodity inputs Practical approaches to improving NUE while managing cost and rate pressure How retailers and growers are using strategic, value-based solutions in their fields Join experienced growers and agronomic leaders for a practical discussion on building more resilient, profitable fertility programs. Who Should Watch Corn and soybean growers Retail agronomists and crop advisors Fertilizer retailers and sales professionals 🎙️Meet the Experts Zach Minnihan | Technical Sales Manager & Farmer Zach is dedicated to helping growers increase profitability and productivity sustainably. With a background in Agriculture from Fort Hays State University and hands-on experience from his family farm in west-central Iowa, he tailors crop nutrition solutions to meet each operation’s unique needs and goals Ryan Sanders | Technical Sales Manager & Farmer Ryan brings over 20 years of experience from Bayer Crop Science’s, Monsanto, Syngenta, and his own family farm.
