On World Water Day, we recognize that water is at the heart of agriculture and food security. Every seed planted and every harvest depends on responsible water management. Innovation in plant breeding, irrigation and soil health helps farmers grow more while using less water. Protecting water resources is essential to sustainable agriculture and resilient food systems. #WorldWaterDay #WaterStewardship #SustainableAgriculture

Root health is more than fertilizer and root mass. It’s biological. Microbes around the roots help unlock nutrients, support growth, and protect plant health. In potatoes, that can directly shape tuber yield and quality. @EcoTea_Ag

At the same time, market returns remain uneven, adding another layer of complexity to planning decisions. “There is certainly a need to evaluate planting decisions carefully,” Stamper notes. As uncertainty continues, growers are balancing profitability with risk in an increasingly volatile environment. Read the full article: hubs.li/Q047CD0f0
