Meet Adam Kuznia, a fourth generation farmer in Argyle, MN and co-founder of Riopelle Seed Company. While initially hesitant to bring on SOURCE, after using it on his own operation and maintaining yield despite reducing synthetic nutrients, he's now a firm believer in its efficacy. Watch the full video to learn how Adam has grown his business with SOURCE. Thank you for your partnership, Riopelle Seed Company! We're lucky to have you as a Dealer.

Soil testing is an important step in understanding your fields unique needs. It provides insights into how well your in-season nutrient plan supported each field and its crops. By identifying excessive or deficient nutrients in end-of-season soil tests, we can make informed decisions to maximize yields and optimize ROI for the coming season.

Join us in congratulating our recent values champion, Jessamyn Wead (she/her)! As our Director of People Operations, Jessamyn is a fierce advocate for all Sound team members and works to foster a positive, inclusive work environment for us all. We asked Jessamyn: 🏅 Which of Sound’s core values resonates with you? I find tenacity to be a key ingredient in how I show up for my team at Sound, and how they show up for me. Any game-changing organization (like Sound!) will be faced with challenges; tenacity drives individuals to push through, learn from setbacks, and continuously strive for improvement. With tenacity, our Sound team continues to show up for our mission, and for each other. 🌱 If you were a plant, what plant would you be? I would be yarrow. Yarrow is known for its medicinal properties; I often fall into the role of being a helper and advocate in both my personal and professional life. Yarrow is also a hardy plant that can grow in a variety of conditions; I too embody resilience and adaptability. At the same time, yarrow is a wild, free-growing plant; I place a high value on roaming this beautiful planet of ours & having fun along the way! 💡 What do you enjoy most about working at Sound? Working collaboratively with brilliant & kind people to bring forward solutions that address the overuse of synthetic fertilizers in our agricultural system.  Thank you Jessamyn, for your leadership and unwavering commitment to helping the Sound team thrive! #Agriculture #AgTech #AgCareers #SoundAgriculture
