NutrientStar is an independent, science-based program that offers farmers reports and assessments of commercial nutrient management products and decision-making tools. The company launched a year ago at Commodity Classic and compares themselves to Carfax.

Thus far nine tools have gone through their third-party review process, a process more and more farmers valuable. This new video features farmers from the Midwest explaining what they need in a fertilizer management tool. “In many ways, this video is a public service announcement – and a call for third-party validation at a time when new agricultural technologies are coming online nearly every day,” NutrientStar says.
