5th generation farmer, Matt Rasmussen operates Rasmussen Farm growing soybeans, white and yellow corn in eastern Nebraska. Each year, Matt completes a chemical soil test to understand the nutrients available in his farm system. Last year, he completed a chemical soil test and a plant tissue test, but the results did not match up. He took tissue samples every week from the beginning to the mature stages of plant growth. He was not seeing responses from the crops based on the nutritional elements that were identified in the chemical soil test. He wanted to determine why the crops were not receiving the K and Mg that tested high in the soil. He saw a big gap in soil digestion and nutrient uptake. He searched for ways to improve his fields before the growing season and discovered the BeCrop® Test.
