Companies are always trying to put their products through rigorous testing before they release them to the public. However, many times the results we see are based on controlled sites and conditions. What happens when it goes out to the average acres across the country?
That’s why Mosaic is working with six growers across the Midwest to show their products in a transparent test that will be shared online through many channels. It is called “Frontier Fields.” This program is intended to show what the Mosaic portfolio can do under completely randomized conditions.
One of those Frontier Fields Farmers is Villisca, Iowa farmer Andrew Focht. Last year Andrew was part of Mosaic’s BioPath trials last year. He talks about how he got involved in last year’s trials and this year’s program.
Focht says that he had some land that was facing some challenges and needed extra help. That’s how he got involved with biologicals and Mosaic.
Focht talks about how he plans to participate in the Frontier Fields program. He plans to incorporate more acres, including his better performing acres. He says he wants to see how much improvement he has there as well. This is as much for a financial reason as it is for a crop performance reason.
Mosaic is having the farmers do the blogging and vlogging themselves to reduce any company influence on the results they see.
