Welcome to another episode of The Nexus Ag Update!

In this episode, we welcome back our returning guest, Megan Solland Conservation Agronomist with Nexus. We’re also thrilled to have Joel Wipperfurth from TruTerra. Joel will share his role at TruTerra and his extensive work history in the industry.
