Summary

What does it take to grow high-quality produce? Agronomist Christopher Hight from Grimmway Produce Group joins host Dr. Karl Wyant to explore the agronomy behind produce production. With experience managing more than 65 different vegetable crops, Christopher breaks down everything from nutrient management, irrigation and soil health to fertilizer efficiency and the strategies used to produce high-quality fruits and vegetables all year long. Explore what's unique about produce production and agronomy on California's Central Coast, how nutrient management contributes to both yield and quality and why efficiency, crop rotation and field-level decision-making are important for success.
