The Necessity of Innovation

Long term success in agriculture greatly benefits from smart innovation. New technology is not only tractors and software, it also includes crop nutrition.

Christopher Hight at Bonipak Produce in Santa Maria, California, is constantly innovating. As lab manager of a large grower/packer/shipper, his job includes in house soil testing and on-site tank mixing.  He’s a certified crop advisor and helps growers achieve nitrogen management plans. 

His nutrition program includes Redox technology to grow several dozen crops, which ultimately end up with customers far and wide through outlets such as Costco and Safeway.

Christopher will soon achieve a PhD from UC Davis in Soil and Biogeochemistry.
