“Timing is everything,” says Chad. “IFA plays a huge part in my operation and understands timing. You can count on them to be on the field at the right time to spray or fertilize, which is sometimes in the middle of the night or on weekends because the water is coming on. Our IFA crop consultant, Whitt Sorensen, is dedicated to our crops and wants us to be successful just as much as we do ourselves.”
